A touching video shared by Instagram user Neelam has taken the internet by storm, showcasing a heartwarming bond formed between her young daughter and an elderly man during a train journey. Neelam, who was travelling with her daughter, captured the emotional moment as the elderly man, a fellow passenger, played with the little girl. The interaction left the man in tears, which Neelam believes was due to him missing his own grandchildren.
In the viral video, both the man and the child are seen smiling and enjoying their time together. Neelam explained in her post that the man, a businessman travelling with his wife, became emotional after the playful exchange with her daughter, likely reminded of his own family.
The video, shared just days ago, has already garnered nearly 21 million views, along with countless likes and comments from moved viewers.
