Karan Aujla pays off auto driver’s fines in Mumbai
On Monday, Karan Aujla’s photographer, Taran Sodhi, shared a video of the singer travelling in an auto-rickshaw in Mumbai. However, the vehicle was stopped by the police due to pending fines. The singer instructed his team to clear the fines, amounting to ₹17000.
Later, another auto driver approached Karan and asked him to pay his fine as well. The singer then asked his team to clear an additional ₹5000 fine for the second driver, leaving him overjoyed. When the driver realised it was Karan Aujla, he hugged him.
Karan was heard saying, “We got pulled over because the auto driver had some pending fines and we told the policeman that we’d pay his fines. I love doing this.” He also advised the drivers not to incur further fines, saying, “Koi aur pay nahi karega (no one else will pay). Suddenly I am the city’s favourite.”
Fans showered praise on Karan for his gesture. One fan wrote, “This is the best kind of flex.” Another commented, “Man with a golden heart.” Others wrote, “That’s why I love this guy,” “GOAT for a reason,” and “Such a sweetheart.” One comment read, “We have made a real diamond famous.”
