Vinod Kapri Video: An Indian man had received many offers of help after a video of him running home from work went viral.
The video was shot by filmmaker Vinod Kapri, who offered a lift to the 19-year-old Pradeep Mehra as he ran past his car but Mehra turned down the offer, saying he ran around 10km every night to keep himself fit to join the Indian Army.
Mr. Pradeep Mehra was running home on Saturday after a night shift at a McDonald’s outlet in Noida city – when Kapri spotted him.
The filmmaker said he offered the man a lift after seeing him running with a backpack, thinking he might be in trouble.
He shot the video from his car as he slowly drove alongside Mr. Mehra, asking him some questions to understand his refusal of the lift.
Mr. Pradeep Mehra, who lives in Noida with his brother, told Kapri he ran every night after completing the work because he did not have time to do exercise during the daytime.
When Kapri asks him to have dinner with him, Mr. Mehra refuses by saying he needed to cook food for himself and his elder brother, who was also working a night shift.
When asked why he did not run in the morning time, Mr. Mehra says he had to wake up early and cook food before leaving for work.
He says, his parents were back home in the northern state of Uttarakhand and his father was looking after his mother who was ill.
Kapri is heard complimenting Mr. Mehra’s grit and asking him what he will do if the video goes viral. He replies, “Who’s going to recognize me… If it goes viral, it is okay, it’s not like I am doing anything wrong”.
This is PURE GOLD❤️❤️
