Little Girl Cries After Auto Driver Allegedly Slaps Her For Selling Roses, Video Sparks Fury
The girl, still crying and silent, offered no response. Later, the video explained that an auto driver had slapped her for chasing his vehicle to sell roses to a passenger inside. Shikhar tried to console her, asking if she was okay and offering to buy roses, but the shaken girl refused to speak or accept money.
"She didn't cry because she didn't get the money… she cried because the world failed her.An auto driver slapped her for chasing after his auto to sell a rose. I stopped, listened, and tried to comfort her. She refused money, not out of pride, but pain. Let's be better humans. Be the reason someone believes kindness still exists," the video was captioned.

The video has triggered intense online reactions, with many users outraged by the alleged violence and demanding accountability. Some demanded urgent intervention, suggesting that an NGO should step in to help the girl, while others urged authorities to take strict action against the driver. One user wrote, "She didn't take the money. It shows how hurt she was. Poverty is a curse."
Another commented, "The point is also why did the auto driver slapped her. Physical violence is not acceptable."
A third said, "If you see kids begging or selling on the streets, call 1098 — the government will rescue them and help them go to school.Buying things from them giving money will not make their life better."
A fourth added, "This video brought two very strong emotions. On one side, the boiling of blood seeing how that auto rickshaw driver dared to slap that little girl and get away with it so easily. On the other side, a feeling of gratitude that there are beautiful souls like you who took the time to help her, not because you offered her money but because you said the words she needed the most."

Russian Model And Ex-Miss Universe Contestant Kseniya Alexandrova Dies In Freak Car Accident
Kseniya Alexandrova, a 30-year-old Russian model and Miss Universe 2017 contestant, died on August 12, just four months after her wedding. The former Miss Russia 2017 first runner-up suffered severe brain injuries sustained in a car accident in Tver Oblast, Russia, the New York Post reported. The incident happened on July 5 when Alexandrova and her husband were driving home from Rzhev when their car collided with an elk that suddenly darted onto the road. Alexandrova was in the passenger seat at the time, while her husband was driving. The impact left Alexandrova unconscious, with her husband recalling the scene as "covered in blood." "From the moment it jumped out to the impact, a split second passed. I didn't have time to do anything. The elk flew into the car. The blow hit Ksyusha in the head. She was unconscious, her head was broken, everything was covered in blood,' her husband told Russian outlet Rossiyskaya Gazeta in a statement. The grieving husband described the devastating impact of the collision, recalling how the elk's legs pierced the windshield of their sports car, shattering the front of his wife's skull. Despite the swift response of other drivers and emergency services, Alexandrova's injuries were too severe. She was rushed to a Moscow hospital, where she later died due to her injuries. Alexandrova had only married her husband four months earlier, on March 22 and shared a photograph from her wedding on Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kseniya Alexandrova (@kseniyaalexandrova) Notably, she represented Russia in the 2017 Miss Universe pageant and was also the first runner-up in the Miss Russia competition that year. Additionally, Alexandrova was a qualified psychologist, having graduated from Moscow Pedagogical State University. Following her death, her modelling agency, Modus Vivendis, shared a statement confirming her death on Instagram on August 13. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ModusVivendiS (@modus_vivendis) "It is with great sadness that we inform you that our colleague and friend, model Kseniya Alexandrova, passed away yesterday evening. Kseniya was bright and talented. She knew how to inspire, support, and give warmth to everyone around her. For us, she will forever remain a symbol of beauty, kindness and inner strength," the agency wrote. "We sincerely mourn and express our deepest condolences to her family, friends and everyone who had the good fortune to know Kseniya," the statement concluded.
