Earlier this week, a viral video from a good Samaritan showed an elderly couple getting emotional talking about their financial condition and the poor performance of their foot outlet on the streets of Delhi entitled, ‘Baba Ka Dhaba’.
The 80+ duo, touched a resounding chords with netizens, when the person filming the video showed how hard they’ve still been working to make ends meet, even at their age.
The couple was seen getting emotional revealing how they are barely able to sell a KG of home-cooked daal and paneer ki sabzi during a single day and often have to take it all back home.
The shop which is basically a tiny kiosk in front of Hanuman Mandir, Malviya Nagar, Delhi – now saw a surprise spike in visitations, soon after the video uploaded by Gaurav Wasan on his Instagram account @youtubeswadofficial went viral.
“Inhe hamari help ko bahut zarurat he,” the user wrote on his viral IG video.
Heart-warming to see how people can still come together for a good cause.
Here are some examples of the coverage they have received after the video touched countless hearts online:

This is so heartwarming!
Hope Kanta Prasad and Badami Devi, who’ve been working since 1988 – as they revealed, find some worth for their immeasurable hard work.
