The internet loves a heart-warming story, and this week a video of cricketer Rinku Singh’s father Khanchand Singh delivering LPG cylinders has captured hearts online.

Rinku Singh made his debut for India last year, after having a breakout season with the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League.

The video showcases Khanchand Singh loading gas cylinders onto his small delivery truck in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. The twist, however, lies in the context: despite his son’s success, he chooses to continue his humble job, showcasing a dedication to hard work. The video was posted on Instagram with the comment “The father of Rinku Singh”. It shows Khanchand Singh driving the vehicle while distributing LPG cylinders. He closes the vehicle’s tailgate and pulls away as the footage continues.

Staying grounded is the best lifestyle ever,” said a netizen. “Nothing is big or small. Work is workshop,” wrote a second, probably meaning to say work is worship.

This is called being connected to the roots no matter how rich and successful you are,” chimed in a third.
