The video opens to show Daya Rai in front of an illuminated India Gate trying to record a video. As she starts moving backwards, she bumps into an elderly man, who almost falls but balances himself before touching the ground.
Rai instantly apologises, but it is the man’s reaction that has the internet's heart. With a smile and an assuring gesture, the man says, “Koi baat nehi beta” to Rai and walks away.
(Hindustantimes.com has reached out to Daya Rai. This report will be updated when she responds.)
