Video Shows e-Rickshaw Driver's Stunning Makeover, Internet Says ‘Born To Be A Model'
From a trendy hairstyle and groomed beard to a fresh outfit that exudes confidence and charm, the influencer shares every detail.
A jaw-dropping transformation video of an e-rickshaw driver is taking the internet by storm after an influencer gave the humble man a striking makeover. The now-viral reel showcases the driver's journey from a rugged, everyday appearance to a sharp, dashing new look, and the internet can't get enough.
Shared on Instagram, the reel captures the dramatic 'before and after' looks of the modest and hard-working e-rickshaw driver. From a trendy hairstyle and groomed beard to a fresh outfit that exudes confidence and charm, the clip gives viewers a glimpse into every detail of the incredible makeover before cutting to a dramatic reveal of his stylish new avatar.
The Incredible Makeover
The video, posted by the influencer, starts by giving the man a formal haircut. He opts for an army side part haircut that gives a formal and sharp look. Then, he applies the diamond cut rule to trim his long-grown beard.
Next, he de-tans his face using Kasuri methi (also known for antibacterial properties) and curd. Once his face gets a clean touch-up, he moves on to his hair. Using Bhringraj and Vitamin E capsules, he provides strength and volume to his hair.
When the grooming part is done, he starts sorting out his attire. Keeping in mind the colour and fabric, he picked a mud-coloured crinkled-texture shirt and paired it with white relaxed textured pants. Completing his look were a brown watch and loafers, and voila, his mind-boggling transformation will amaze you.
How Did Social Media React?
As expected, the video instantly went viral on social media platforms. It has garnered more than 13.3 million views and over 8 lakh likes in just a day of being shared. A majority of viewers praised the influencer behind the transformation for using his fashion and grooming skills to uplift the individual's look, while others called the e-rickshaw driver an international model and flooded the comments with admiration for the driver's new look.
'Crazy transformation," commented a user with a fire emoticon.
Another wrote, 'Great job; he was born to become a model."
'Bro became a rickshawala to a Hollywood actor," remarked a user.
An individual stated, 'Bro really looks like an international model."
'Wow! That's a totally unbelievable transformation," read a comment.
The internet community loved the transformation of the e-rickshaw driver so much that many expressed a desire to undergo one themselves.

Indian mission in UK marks Partition Horrors Remembrance Day
Agency: London, Aug 14 (PTI) The High Commission of India in London on Thursday commemorated Partition Horrors Remembrance Day with a special photography exhibition and a documentary screening reflecting upon India's Partition in August 1947. The solemn gathering of community leaders and Indian diaspora members recounted some of the painful memories of the past a day before the 79th Independence Day celebrations planned at India House on Friday. 'When we recall Partition, we must also recall that this was a tragedy for everybody, because it was a tragedy that happened to all communities," said Indian High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswami, in his address to the gathering. Doraiswami said that many people were uprooted to come to India and likewise in Pakistan and that impact is still seen in the way people deal with each other even now. 'That at least should tell us, if nothing else, that the experiment that is the modern Indian nation is a valid argument," he added. 'Our continued existence as a state that is there for all Indian citizens is the best answer we can give anybody who seeks to suggest that we are different by virtue of our faith or by dealing with the absence of faith," he said. UK-based filmmaker Lalit Mohan Joshi presented an abridged version of his documentary 'Beyond Partition', which captured the voices of leading artists such as Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani and Gulzar who have explored the subject of Partition in their cinematic journey over the years. 'My film explores the trauma of Partition and how it impacted on filmmakers from the Indian subcontinent," said Joshi. The memorial event, held in the Gandhi Hall of India House, concluded with the Indian National Anthem before moving to the Nehru Hall for a tour of the photographic exhibition tracing the history of the Partition.
