‘Men in love’: Bengaluru auto rickshaw driver hangs wife’s earrings inside auto, wins hearts
A Bengaluru auto rickshaw driver went viral after displaying his wife’s earrings in his auto.
A touching video capturing a simple yet deeply romantic gesture by an auto rickshaw driver in Bengaluru has struck an emotional chord with social media users.
Posted on Instagram by content creator Marilyn Sultana Akand, the clip begins by zooming in on a photograph placed on the windshield.
Moments later, however, the camera tilts upwards to reveal something far more intimate. A pair of jhumkas, believed to belong to the driver’s wife, hang delicately from the rear view mirror. They sway gently with the motion of the auto, turning a routine commute into a quiet declaration of love.
Overlay text on the video reads, “Men in love,” while the caption adds, “POV is the earrings, not the picture. :) Not all romantics buy flowers. Some hang your earrings where they can see them all day.”
She further wrote, “That auto carries passengers. His heart carries her. When a man truly loves you, you’re stitched into his routine.”
