A simple yet sweet tale of how a man’s girlfriend motivated him to come to Mahakumbh to run a temporary business is winning people’s hearts. A datun (teeth-cleansing twig) seller, during a conversation about how much he is earning, opened up about how it was his partner who gave him the idea to come to the mela.
A video of the man, shared on Instagram, shows him sharing about his business and love with a huge smile on his face. Posted with just two words, “true relationship,” the video was labelled as “heartwarming” by many social media users.
The footage opens with a text inset, “True relationship. And men in love.” It shows a man in a blue jacket holding a bunch of plant twigs in his hand. The man says he came to the Mahakumbh Mela to sell datun and earned nearly ₹40,000 in five days. At this point, the interviewer asks him who helped him prepare for everything. The man breaks into a sweet smile and replies, “Mera girlfriend.”
