Woman biker sends chocolate to auto driver in Bengaluru traffic, celebrates her hustle

A woman biker’s sweet gesture towards an auto driver in Bengaluru has turned into a reminder of how women can show up for each other. Stuck in traffic, she sent the hardworking auto driver a chocolate and a lot of appreciation.

The moment was shared on Instagram by Alisha Ansari. In the clip, Alisha was seen riding through heavy traffic when she spotted a woman driving an auto-rickshaw nearby.

Rather than simply passing by, Alisha reached into the tank bag on her bike and took out a chocolate. She then asked a scooter rider next to her to pass it on to the auto driver.

The man took the chocolate and handed it to the woman behind the wheel. Once Alisha saw that her small gift had reached its intended recipient, she gave a thumbs-up.

The gesture was simple, but the thought behind it is what made the moment stand out. Alisha then turned towards the camera and spoke about women who take up demanding jobs and work hard to support their children, families and parents.

She shared the video with the caption, “Women ho ya men, mehnat sabki khaas hai (Whether women or men, everyone’s hard work is special.)”

The clip was immediately loved by viewers, who praised Ansari for acknowledging another woman’s work in such a spontaneous way. Many found the exchange especially heartwarming because it was not a grand gesture, but a small act of kindness between two strangers sharing the same busy road.

In a city where traffic jams are usually associated with honking, impatience and hurried commutes, the brief exchange offered something different. A biker spotted another woman working through the rush-hour chaos and chose to remind her that her effort mattered.- EndsPublished By: Srimoyee ChowdhuryPublished On: Sep 20, 2026 14:02 IST
