A simple auto rickshaw ride in Mumbai turned into a delightful surprise for RJ Alokita. During her recent journey, she met an auto driver who revealed he’s not just a driver but also a real estate agent by profession. Surprisingly, he owns two flats in Mumbai and claims he drives auto as a hobby. Known as Anna, the friendly driver is well loved in his neighbourhood and says he knows everyone from Chembur to Panvel. Intrigued by his warm nature and the way he was greeting the locals, the RJ decided to dig deeper. Throughout their chat, Anna not only shared his story but also offered motivational advice. At the end of the journey, he spoke about the importance of respecting parents and staying dashing to succeed in life.
Anna said, “Actually, the one who understands their parents follows everything. Day by day, your life will get tougher and another thing is, don’t believe or trust anyone. Stay dashing. If anyone points a finger at you, break their hand.”
RJ Alokita shared the clip on Instagram and wrote, “Meet Chembur ke ‘Anna’ who rides Rickshaw as his HOBBY. When he says DASHING rehna. Yesterday while returning home I took a Rickshaw from Vidyavihar station & I met this charming Man. He was greeting everyone he was seeing on our way. I was surprised to see everybody giving him a warm reply as if they all knew him. Out of curiosity, I asked him do you know everyone here? He replied with exactly what you can see in the video. You can find Motivation anywhere, just keep your search ON.”
Reacting to the video, a user noted, “We had a rickshaw wala uncle who used to drop us at the station. He is a retired police constable, both kids settled abroad, drives an auto for hobby as he doesn’t want to sit idle at home.”
Another shared, “80% auto walon ke paas flat nahi pura building hai. (80% of auto drivers don’t just have a flat, they own an entire building).”
“Just Bombay things,” a comment read.
Another mentioned, “Bro has the swag.”
An individual shared, “There are many people like him, even my building watchman has 2 flats in the next area but does the Watchman job to keep himself working instead of sitting at home after retirement.”
One more added, “Mumbai is not a city, it’s an emotion for many. This uncle is an example for that.”
