Passenger spots girl sleeping in auto. Driver's reason moves internet
An Instagram video has drawn attention to an auto driver who brings his young daughter with him during rides after losing his wife.
A child sleeping peacefully during an auto ride has come to represent a father doing everything he can to hold life together.
In a now-viral Instagram video, a passenger notices a little girl curled up and sleeping quietly in the back of the auto. Curious, he asks the driver about her. The man responds with a smile and says she is his daughter, Ayushi.
As the conversation continues, the reason for her presence becomes clear. Ayushi’s mother passed away, and the driver has been raising his child alone since then. With no one to leave her with, he brings her along during his daily trips.
The child appears calm and undisturbed by the movement of the vehicle, sleeping peacefully as her father drives. It offers a glimpse into the reality of a single parent balancing work and caregiving at the same time.
Later in the video, the passenger is seen taking the driver and Ayushi out for snacks. The little girl is shown enjoying a beverage and smiling shyly at the camera, a brief moment of happiness that has resonated strongly with viewers online.

Many social media users have praised the driver’s dedication and shared messages of support, calling the video a reminder of the unseen challenges faced by working parents.
The video has struck a chord because it reflects a reality many recognise but rarely see, a single father showing up every day, with his child always within reach. Last year, another video of one such single father driving an auto with his child strapped in front went viral as well.
We are not crying, you are.
