“Bhaiyya do minute mein aaya.” How many times have we picked up a cab driver’s call and said these words. Many a times would be our guess. So, when comedian Sapan Verma said them over a call, he didn’t except to get surprised upon meeting his cab driver.

Verma took to Twitter to tell people that he “Booked an Uber in Pune and told the driver, ‘Bhaiyya do minute mein aaya’ and then this happened.” Along with the tweet he also shared two images. One of the images shows Verma posing with his cab driver - whom he called “Bhaiyya” earlier. As it turns out, “Bhaiyya” is actually a woman named Rukhmini.

Rukhmini, whom Verma described as an “ace driver,” also asked him to check out her Uber profile. In her profile, she added a line which when translated reads, “After accepting the trip everyone asks ‘brother where are you.’”
