Vir Das, the comedian-actor and the first Indian to host the International Emmy Awards, recently shared a heart-warming post on Instagram about a fan from Vadodara, Gujarat, who waited two years to attend his show. According to a screenshot Das shared, the fan first reached out to him in June 2022, expressing his desire to attend one of the comedian's shows. However, his father couldn’t afford it at the time due to financial constraints. The fan wrote, "Hi Vir, big fan from Vadodara. I've always wanted to attend one of your shows, and this 'Wanted' tour was the only hope I was holding onto. Unfortunately, I'm not earning yet, so despite begging my father, he had to deny my request because of financial reasons." Further, he mentioned that he was about to leave for Canada for higher studies, where he would start earning and finally fulfill his wish of attending Das's show. "This is the thread of hope I’ll hold onto for now! Good luck with the remaining 'Wanted' tour, Vir, always rooting for you!" the fan had written. This year, the fan messaged Das again, this time with a good news: he had started earning and would be attending his "Mindfool" tour in Toronto. Sharing the post, Das wrote, “KID!!! Posting this because we’re trying to reach you. We’ve DMed you, no response. If you see this, I’m proud of you. You waited over two years to see me, and made the sweetest promise, you’re NOT paying. Please respond to my team.” See here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vir Das (@virdas) The post quickly gained traction as several social media users were touched by Das’s gesture. “Making people cry at 9am in the morning!
