A video went viral where a girl met her friend who was working as a delivery boy and started mocking him. This triggered huge reactions on social media and in the midst of all this, popular director Siddharth Anand reacted to it.
Siddharth Anand wrote, "He’s a hero! Whoever you are. You’re a real hero!! You’re working hard! You’re working honestly. Earning for yourself. Not being a burden on anyone. No work is less. Or more. True hero. You have my respect." His words were widely appreciated, with users responding with comments like, “Only one heart, Sid sir, how many times are you gonna win it,” and “And we have your respect for speaking on these things.”
The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a user named Saffron Chargers, shows a woman recording her school-time friend on the road. In the clip, she laughs as she recalls how he used to motivate classmates to study, and then mocks him for working as a delivery person at the age of 30. Though the man smiles throughout, he appears visibly uncomfortable. The video ends with the woman saying she would forward the clip to their old friends.
The post was shared with the caption, “A pizza delivery boy met his school-time female friend on the roadShe started recording and mocked him: ‘You used to motivate everyone in school and now you're delivering pizza?’ Then she said she’ll send the video to other friends too.” It further read, “She laughed but didn’t think for a second: Boys’ life isn’t easy. Sometimes responsibilities come before age. Dreams get buried. Self-respect gets tested. Delivering pizza isn’t shameful. Mocking someone’s struggle is. Being a boy is not easy.”
