“Just about yesterday, two foreigners (ladies) bought fruits on the road but could not communicate it to the seller. Fortunately, I was there having fruit salad. I hence could intervene and help them out, which eventually led to a beautiful moment of them thanking me, saying ‘dhanyawaad’ with folded hands, and it indeed was heartwarming,” a man shared.

Another individual posted, “Uncle is a real gem”. A third added, “He asked not to take a single rupee extra other than ₹100 as you are our guest. Also, he was bargaining for ₹75, but the driver disagreed.”

A fourth person wrote, “This heartwarming video truly captures the essence of Bihar’s hospitality! Amidst misconceptions, an outpouring of kindness speaks volumes about our culture. Let’s celebrate the good souls who extend a helping hand without hesitation. This is the real Bihar!”

Instagram user Arpit Setya claimed that the Bihar man is his father-in-law. He posted, “That’s my father-in-law! He’s the nicest, sweetest human being you’ll ever know!”

According to YouTube, British vloggers Reanne and Ben run the Instagram page otwd_yt. They’ve been traveling full-time for three years, visiting 63 countries across five continents to share unique cultural interactions and human-interest stories.
