Traffic in Mumbai can be exhausting, but some people find creative ways to make the long waits more bearable. One auto-rickshaw driver, in particular, has caught the internet’s attention with his unique approach.
Dressed in a white uniform and black cap, the spirited driver was spotted in Mumbai’s Juhu area, making the daily grind of traffic a little more entertaining for those around him.
A viral Instagram video shows the driver singing the classic Bollywood song Phir Wahi Raat Hai from the 1979 film Ghar while waiting at a traffic signal. What makes the affair even more interesting is his auto-rickshaw isn’t just an ordinary one — it proudly displays signs reading “Karaoke Autorickshaw,” “Please like, comment, and share,” and even “Google Search” on its roof.
Watch the viral video:
The video has been viewed more than a million times. The driver’s unique blend of creativity and musical talent has captivated social media users, sparking a wave of reactions and shares online.
A radio jockey Roshan commented, “Inka contact details koi share karo… Radio mai bulaya jaye.”
Another user commented, “Men watch > Men feel Good > Men Like.”
A third person wrote, “People like these make world a beautiful place.” A fourth individual wrote, “Live your dreams in any form it doesn’t matter what others think. Keep yourself charged in work.”
This isn’t the first time this auto-rickshaw driver has gone viral. Before this, musician Amit Trivedi shared a video on Instagram featuring the driver, whose auto-rickshaw was decorated with colourful lights and equipped with a speaker and mic. In the clip, he passionately sang Mohammed Rafi’s classic song Khoya Khoya Chand, impressing Trivedi with his voice.
Have you ever come across anything like that before?
