An elderly auto-rickshaw driver from Amravati, Maharashtra, has gained widespread attention on social media for his fluent English and confidence, according to the Times of India.
The viral video from 2024 shows the driver, referred to by local residents as Yadav Chacha, speaking with a young man while a passenger sits in his vehicle.
During the conversation, the driver told the young man to listen carefully, stating that knowing English allows one to go to London, Paris, or America.
