In the caption, Wandel wrote, "This is 1 in a million. I was on my way home and tge [sic] heavens opened. I thought there goes the sheets. When I got home the line was empty. I had to watch the cameras to what happened. The postie brought my wash in out of the rain."
The video has garnered massive attention on social media, with many users praising the mailman's selfless act. Global sensation Chopra liked the video and even shared it on her Instagram story, appreciating the mailman's good deed.
While commenting on the video, one user wrote, "Another side of Indian, social media never likes to show."
"For him, it is probably a spiritual experience. In Sikhism, service, known as "Seva," is a fundamental principle emphasizing selfless action and dedication to the well-being of others. It's a core aspect of Sikh philosophy and practice, rooted in the belief that serving humanity is equivalent to serving God," another user wrote.
"You should go to their temple, they feed you and the shoes you leave at the door of the temple, they clean it for you. When there is ever help needed Sikhs are always first to show up whatever religion you come from," a third user suggested.
"Beautiful randomness of kindness. Very rare these days. Hope you rang his work to give him some praise. He at least deserved that. So many people are quick to ring and complain, though never ring to give credit unfortunately," another user wrote.

Sooraj Barjatya agrees to Rupali Ganguly's National Award demand for TV artistes: ‘Actors still get breathers in films'

Recently, television actor Rupali Ganguly called for National Awards to recognise television actors too, arguing that they work just as hard as film actors. Now, in an interview with Telly Talk India, filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya has responded to her demand and expressed his agreement, adding that the National Awards should also consider television actors. Sooraj Barjatya reacts to Rupali Ganguly's 'TV actors should be considered for National Awards' remark. Sooraj Barjatya says TV actors should be considered for National Awards. Reacting to Rupali Ganguly's demand, Sooraj said he agreed with her and added, 'I believe they should. TV is an art form, and it demands immense hard work. If you visit a TV set, you'll see – it's a minimum of 12–14 hours of continuous work. In films, actors still get breathers, but in TV, actors must continuously live their roles, and directors must constantly shoot under restrictions, yet create something touching. If I were asked to direct one episode, I'd take a week! So yes, National Awards should include television actors.' What Rupali Ganguly said While speaking to paparazzo Viral Bhayani, Rupali said, 'There are National Awards for everyone from film stars to content creators. But there's nothing for TV artistes. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, others had the advantage of delaying their shooting schedules, but we kept working. When a film star works continuously, it makes headlines. But no one talked about how we, the TV artists, worked non-stop from 6 am to 6 pm during the pandemic. I request the government to consider us also. We work very hard; it would be nice to have some validation.' Meanwhile, Sooraj Barjatya's Rajshri Productions has returned to television after five years with the show Manpasand Ki Shaadi. The story revolves around Aarohi Shinde (Esha Suryawanshi), who challenges her family's traditional approach to marriage and expresses her desire to choose her own life partner. The show explores the clash between tradition and modernity, along with the complexities of family and societal pressures. Actor Akshun Mahajan plays the male lead. Rupali, on the other hand, continues to shine in and as Anupamaa. Produced by Rajan Shahi, the show premiered in 2020 and quickly became one of the most-watched serials on Indian television. Anupamaa continues to be a fan favourite, consistently topping the TRP charts.

Arjun Kapoor disables comments section on Instagram after being trolled for his 2017 viral video, here's what happened

Talking about being trolled, the actor said in an interview, 'I am quite thick-skinned about it because I have realised it's a clickbait culture.' Arjun Kapoor has disabled his comment section on Instagram. The reason is a clip that has gone viral on social media which shows the actor blankly staring at a reporter during the promotions of his 2017 film Half Girlfriend. It's now sparked a massive meme-fest. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Talking about being trolled, the actor said in an interview, 'I am quite thick-skinned about it because I have realised it's a clickbait culture. If you go to all these pages where they write about me or tag me, they get a lot more traction.' He added. " There is a certain amount of joy they get from pulling in an audience because they use my name. I am an easy target in that sense. I have taken things in my stride in the past and not really hit back. I take criticism well, so people take undue advantage of that." On the perception in the industry However, the perception is that I am someone's son, and that became stronger during the Covid era because people needed a scapegoat. Perception bhut kamini cheez hoti hai (Perception is a very deceptive thing), which I've only now realised in the last two years. I tried hard not to get bothered. I'm thick-skinned, but it does affect me. I attempted every genre; I'm not saying I was good in every film. But I've seen my contemporaries become consistent after being inconsistent. Speaking about the most challenging part of being an actor, Arjun said, 'I think the most challenging aspect now is the ability to make choices to take risks and not be scared of failure or worry about 'log kya kahenge'. It's about still feeling those butterflies in your stomach. The challenge is to not play it safe. The current environment has made most of us a bit comfortable because there's a constant fear of reviews, reports, and whether a film will work. When I did Finding Fanny, I didn't overthink it. I liked the concept and the director's vision, so we made it happen.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
