Eight years after losing his wife, an elderly Bengaluru auto driver still refuses to start his day without her. Before picking up his first passenger, he lovingly places fresh flowers before her photographs inside his auto, a quiet ritual that has now touched millions online.
Shared on Instagram by content creator Asish Matthew, the video has garnered over 2.8 million views, with viewers moved by the driver's enduring love and devotion.
The clip begins at a traffic signal in Bengaluru's Indiranagar, where Matthew notices the elderly man carefully arranging flowers inside his auto. Curious, he walks over to speak with him.

The creator then explains that the driver's wife passed away eight years ago, yet her memory continues to travel with him every day. As the camera moves around the auto, several photographs of her can be seen displayed neatly inside, transforming the vehicle into a moving tribute to the woman he still deeply misses.
