‘Doughnut khaoge?’: Man with single-digit bank balance treats waiter to sweet surprise
The video of a man treating a server to a doughnut has won people’s hearts.
What started as a regular remote-working spot turned into a moving story of friendship for content creator Yogesh Pandey and a server named Mohit. Known for championing everyday professionals, Pandey shared a video of his sweet gesture: waiting for Mohit to finish his shift to buy him his very first doughnut. Despite a temporary scare when Pandey realised his bank balance was in the single digits, he found spare cash in his bag to save the day. The resulting clip captures a wholesome moment of human connection that has gone viral online.
“I help under-recognized professionals become impossible to ignore without becoming louder, more aggressive, or changing who you are,” content creator Yogesh Pandey wrote on Instagram. He shared a video which captures his interaction with a waiter at Chayoos.

In the video, Pandey explained that he often visits the shop to work, jokingly adding that it helps him save on electricity and wifi bills. Since then, the waiter, Mohit, has been greeting him politely and serving his orders. Pandey recalled how Mohit had also appeared in some of his videos.
In this particular video, Pandey asks the server if he has ever tasted doughnuts; he replies, “No”. The content creator then asks Mohit if he would like to have one.
As the video continues, Pandey waits for Mohit to finish his shift. When he goes to buy a doughnut afterwards, he faces a brief moment of panic upon realising his bank balance is in the single digits - only to be saved by extra cash tucked away inside his bag.
Towards the end of the video, Mohit enjoys a doughnut while conversing with Pandey.
