Bengaluru man's big surprise for Rapido auto driver will make RCB fans cheer out loud

A man from Bengaluru paid his Rapido auto-driver not with money, but with tickets to a Royal Challengers Bengaluru match, and then took him along to watch the game together, creating a moment that’s winning hearts online.

Nitin Sequeira, a Bengaluru-based content creator known for his quirky takes on everyday life, shared the now-viral video on his Instagram account.

In the clip, he began by telling viewers about his plan to “pay” his auto-driver in a unique way, with RCB match tickets.

He was then seen waiting for his Rapido ride before striking up a conversation with the driver as soon as he arrived. Sequeira casually asked if he was an RCB fan, to which the driver responded with an enthusiastic yes. When asked about his favourite player, the driver immediately named Virat Kohli.

As the ride continued, Sequeira kept the conversation going, eventually asking if the driver had ever attended a live RCB match. The answer was no, something that set the stage for what came next.

Midway through the journey, they pulled over briefly, where Sequeira revealed that the ride itself had cost him nothing thanks to a Rapido code. He then showed viewers an RCB jersey he had brought along, hinting at the surprise in store.

At the end of the trip, Sequeira handed over the jersey along with tickets to an upcoming RCB match. The driver’s reaction was immediate and heartfelt, his face breaking into a wide smile as he processed the unexpected gift.

The video didn't end there. In the following clips, the two were seen at the stadium, dressed in matching RCB jerseys, cheering, laughing, and soaking in the match-day atmosphere together, turning a routine ride into a shared experience.

Others appreciated the thought behind the gesture, adding how meaningful it could be to gift someone an experience they never had before.

Some commenters even joked about wanting to become Rapido drivers themselves in hopes of a similar surprise, while many praised Sequeira for turning a simple idea into a memorable moment for someone else.
