Raksha Bandhan, in particular, celebrates the bond between siblings, but a viral video from Vadodara shows how the spirit of the festival can extend beyond family.The video, shared on Instagram by Vadodara-based Akanksha Singh, captures a woman tying a rakhi to a delivery partner who had arrived at her home. What begins as a routine delivery soon turns into a heartwarming exchange.Titled, “We randomly decided to tie a rakhi to our delivery partner, and he made the moment unforgettable,” the clip shows Singh opening the door for the delivery rider and greeting him before tying a rakhi around his wrist. She then touches his feet, seeking his blessings as part of the traditional celebration.Moved by the gesture, he immediately offers to send her some money as a gift and asks whether he can scan a QR code to make the payment. Although she politely declines, he is determined to give her something. “Aapne bhai banaya hai toh shagun toh dena padega na, ab behen bola hai na (You made me your brother, so I have to give you a gift),” he says.When the girls are unable to show him a scanner, he reaches into his pocket and hands over a Rs 50 note, asking her to keep it. “Arre bhai samajh ke rakh lijiye (Please keep it, considering me your brother),” he says.Before leaving, the delivery rider tells his ‘sister’ that she can always count on him. “Kabhi bhi koi bhi kaam ho yaad kijiye ga, bhai hai hum aapke (Whenever you need anything, remember me; I am your brother),” he says. The girls then wish him “Happy Rakhi” as he walks away.Watch the video: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Akanksha singh.
