‘CBI officer ke papa ban gaye’ – a candid conversation between a taxi driver and a passenger is going viral online for all the right reasons. In a clip shared by an Instagram user, the overjoyed driver can be seen proudly describing the successful journey of his daughters, who he says have been selected for two of the most prestigious positions in India – the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Indian Administrative Service (IAS).
Emotional reaction of a proud father
Video taken from the back seat of the cab shows the passenger talking to the driver. Beaming with pride, he exclaims, “CBI officer ke papa ban gaye” (I became the father of a CBI officer) when asked how he feels. He says he is extremely happy and continues to share his daughter’s journey.
He claims that his daughters have studied tirelessly to achieve their goals and have never engaged in coaching. “Tell me how happy I am to hear this. I am very happy,” he says, adding: “This is the greatest happiness for parents.”
A path marked by struggle
The man also thinks about the path to this success. He shares that financial difficulties prevented him from getting much education himself, but he feels immense pride in his children’s success.
The Internet reacts with admiration
“Today I met Mr. Upendra Gupta, a taxi driver in Lucknow who shared how his two daughters achieved their dreams of joining IAS and CBI,” the video caption read.
The video sparked a wave of reactions online, with reactions mostly warm and admiring. Many praised the father’s dedication and said the moment captured the true joy of parenthood.
“Bahut bahut badhai ho uncle ji ko,” wrote one user.
“Thank you bhai for capturing a father’s experience, struggle and happiness,” commented another.
Vegetable seller’s son passed CRPF exam
In a similar incident earlier this year, a vegetable vendor’s son cracked the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) exam and went to his mother’s stall to share the news. A heartwarming video went viral in January.
In the viral clip, Sawant walked towards his mother’s vegetable stall with a bouquet. He bowed and touched his mother’s feet to ask for her blessings. She then hugged him tightly and showered him with blessings. Both broke down in tears as friends and family added color to celebrate his success.
“I just wanted him to stand on his own two feet,” the video said.
The video was shared by Instagram user Vilas Kudalkar who wrote, “Gopal Sawant from Shetkar Wadi in Pinguli has been selected for CRPF to serve the country. This is a touching video of him sharing the news with his mother who ran a pavement shop in Kudal Nagar Panchayat.”
