Watch: Jeweller Refuses Money From 93-year-old Man Buying Wife A Mangalsutra
Nivrutti Shinde walked into Gopika Jewellers with his wife, Shantabai, to buy her a mangalsutra.
True love doesn't need big gestures; sometimes a small act is enough. A video of a 93-year-old man, Nivrutti Shinde, walking into a jewellery store with his wife, Shantabai, to buy her a Mangalsutra has gone viral and it's melting a million hearts. The video is from Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
In a simple white dhoti-kurta and cap, the man stepped into the store. At first, the staff assumed they needed help or financial support. But the man told them that he wanted to buy a mangalsutra for his wife.
After they carefully selected a mangalsutra, the shopkeeper asked how much money they had. The couple said they had Rs 1,120. When the woman offered the money, the shopkeeper smiled and joked, 'So much money?" But the elderly man took it seriously and added some coins to the amount.
The small gesture touched the shopkeeper's heart. He decided not to take full payment. Instead, he gave the mangalsutra to the couple and took only Rs 20 as a symbolic charge.
'The couple entered the shop and the man gave me Rs 1,120, saying he wanted to buy a mangalsutra for his wife. I was overwhelmed by his gesture. I just took Rs 20 from him as a token of blessings, and handed over the mangalsutra to the couple," the owner said as quoted by Hindustan Times.
This gesture moved the couple to tears. They were touched by the shopkeeper's kindness.
The video of the moment has taken social media by storm. It was widely shared on X (formerly Twitter), where users praised both the couple and the jeweller.
Someone simply called it 'so wholesome."
'The tears of happiness and contentment of those elderly couple will bless him and his generation to come," a person admired.
A viewer remarked, 'Should be the only couple goal. So much love. An eye opener for modern people," while an individual added, 'Everything about this video is beautiful to watch."
'Stories like these are so wonderful and heartwarming," read another comment.
As per the outlet, Nivrutti and Shantabai are farmers from Ambhora Jahagir village in Jalna district. The couple is currently on a foot pilgrimage to Pandharpur for the Ashadhi Ekadashi festival.

See pics) Watch the video here: The drone footage shows two Yellow Line trains and two Green Line trains passing by each other at the RV Road interchange station, a junction where the newly opened Yellow Line meets the Green Line. Since its posting, the video has gone viral, with users praising its timing, aesthetic appeal, and nostalgia. How did X users react? One user wrote, 'Wow! This looks unreal.' Another reminisced, 'RV Road was originally called AC Road. It was one of the most beautiful stretches in Bengaluru two decades ago with massive trees and parks. It's less now, but still lovely.' However, the video also drew skepticism. One user questioned the realism, asking, 'Looks animated. With 25-minute intervals, how is this possible? Has BMRCL validated this?' Responding to the doubts, an account named Grok clarified: 'It's real, captured by a certified drone pilot in Bengaluru. The video shows Yellow and Green line trains aligning in frame near RV Road interchange. With Yellow's 25-minute frequency and Green's ~5–10 minutes, such a shot is possible by waiting for schedules to sync. No AI artifacts detected.' Bengaluru's newest metro corridor The viral moment follows the recent inauguration of the Yellow Line by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday. The 19.15-km line runs between R.V. Road and Bommasandra, passing through bustling IT and industrial corridors like Electronic City and Bommanahalli. On its first day of commercial operations (August 11), the Yellow Line recorded 52,215 boardings, contributing to Bengaluru Metro's highest-ever single-day ridership of over 10.48 lakh passengers.

Alien: Earth X review: Fans praise the FX sci-fi's blend of horror and philosophy, but some call it a ‘Temu version' of Blade Runner
Alien: Earth X review: The release of Alien: Earth on FX has ignited a storm of conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with viewers passionately debating whether it's a brilliant extension of the Alien franchise or an uneven experiment in sci-fi storytelling. Created by Noah Hawley, the show blends horror, suspense, and corporate intrigue, set two years before Ridley Scott's original Alien film. While many praise the dystopian drama's gripping atmosphere and layered storytelling, others are calling out its ambitious visuals and hybrid storyline, comparing it to 'a Temu version of Blade Runner.' Here's a breakdown of what the show is about, its cast, and the online buzz it's generating. What is Alien: Earth about? Set in the year 2120, Alien: Earth follows the crew of the USCSS Maginot, who crash land on a section of Earth controlled by a rival megacorporation after transporting dangerous alien species for decades. As these creatures escape, hybrid children, human consciousness in synthetic bodies, are sent in to contain them. The series blends the gritty, industrial look of the original Alien films with new elements of AI, corporate greed, and human arrogance, creating a tense, unpredictable narrative. Alien Earth X review: Fans are divided The reaction on X is far from unanimous. Many fans of the Alien franchise are thrilled, praising Hawley for capturing the claustrophobic tension and industrial realism of Ridley Scott's original. Some call it 'the best sci-fi TV since The Expanse' and highlight the way it ties into franchise themes of corporate exploitation and human hubris. Alien Earth is hands down one of the most incredible TV shows I've ever watched. You guys aren't prepared for this #AlienEarth One X user said, "Alien Earth is hands down one of the most incredible TV shows I've ever watched," while another user called it a 'masterpiece': "The scale, the atmosphere, the vfx omg they've created true masterpiece i would say." The scale, the atmosphere, the vfx omg they've created true masterpiece i would say. This sequence was truly felt real.#AlienEarth #alienearthfx On the flip side, critics and casual viewers are more sceptical. A recurring joke on X compares the visuals to 'a Temu version of Blade Runner,' pointing to the mix of retro-futuristic sets and occasionally uneven CGI. Others question whether introducing hybrids changes the Alien lore too much, especially since they've never appeared in previous films. Really dig ALIEN: EARTH. While it might have been better served as an original instead of tied to the ALIEN franchise, it has some cool sci-fi concepts and new creatures to play with. Occasionally feels like a BLADE RUNNER series mixed with ALIEN, but that's fine with me. Still, the conversation is buzzing, with even its detractors admitting the series is visually ambitious and loaded with potential for future seasons. The Alien: Earth cast Alien: Earth features a rich ensemble led by: Sydney Chandler as Wendy, the first hybrid, her human consciousness transferred into a synthetic body Alex Lawther plays CJ 'Hermit', Wendy's brother and a Prodigy medic Timothy Olyphant stars as Kirsh, the synthetic mentor guiding Wendy Samuel Blenkin becomes Boy Kavalier, the wealthy CEO of Prodigy Corp Essie Davis portrays Dame Sylvia, a scientist overseeing the hybrid children Babou Ceesay appears as Morrow, the cyborg security officer aboard the Maginot. The show also includes an ensemble cast of hybrids collectively known as 'The Lost Boys,' such as Adarsh Gourav (Slightly), Erana James (Curly), Lily Newmark (Nibs), Jonathan Ajayi (Smee), plus humans like David Rysdahl (Arthur), Diêm Camille (Siberian), Moe Bar-El (Rashidi), and Adrian Edmondson as Atom Eins. Where to watch Alien: Earth? In the United States, Alien: Earth premiered on FX and began streaming simultaneously on Hulu at 8:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. Internationally, the series is available on Disney+ or Jiohotstar, starting in each region's local time, e.g., August 13 in the UK and Europe.
