A man got brutally trolled for posting a video of a vendor picking up golgappas from the road. The clip has gone viral online with over 6 million views and a ton of angry reactions from netizens.
Sometimes, your idea of kindness might not match someone else’s way. Something similar happened on social media when a particularly heart-wrenching video went viral online. The clip showed a vendor picking up golgappas that had fallen on the road all alone while people passed by. The clip was captured by a man named Ankit and has infuriated netizens. Read on to find out about it further.
The now-viral video was shared by a man named Ankit who has a page called Frames by Ankit on Instagram. In the short clip, a helpless vendor can be seen picking up golgappas from the road. Several people passed him by but no one stopped to help. Moreover, netizens were not very happy and trolled Ankit for not helping the vendor either.
“I was driving a car and saw this man whose golgappa/panipuri/phuchka packet fell on the road. Slowed down a bit. Wanted to stop but there were a lot of cars behind me that started honking, so I had to move ahead. Life is tough when you have to struggle hard to earn money, and then you face such challenges,” reads the caption of the post.
Ankit also detailed the objective of recording the clip. “The objective of this reel is to show the struggles and to encourage everyone to support such small vendors. It’s not about picking golgappas one day but about supporting them throughout the year by buying things from them. The last two years have already broken their backs because of low business, and they are now coming back to their own through hard work. I hope seeing this video makes you realise how difficult their lives are as compared to large high end cafés and restaurants,” he wrote.
