The woman is stunned, but before she could react, a middle-aged man passing nearby immediately realised what had happened and signalled the woman to stay calm. He first attempted to retrieve the dupatta with his hand, but when that failed, he climbed into the gap and managed to recover it.

Later, the woman admitted she was shocked at the stranger’s swift response. Comparing the moment to Shah Rukh Khan’s Rahul from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, she wrote, “Rahul came at the right time!!”

She further said, “By the way, I thought no one would respect or care, but he helped me so quickly. Thank you so much!”

What did users say?

The video has garnered more than 41 million views and thousands of comments on social media. Several users appreciated the elderly man’s help without seeking anything in return.

One of the users wrote, “He quietly picked up the shawl for the girl walking ahead and moved on without expecting even a simple ‘thank you’ in return.” Meanwhile, another wrote, “Bro risked his life without any reason.”

Remembering a similar situation, another user wrote, “Ek baar mera sunglasse aise hi gir gya tha.. wahan pe kade bhaiya has rahe they (Once my sunglasses fell in a similar way, the men standing there began laughing).
