Filmmaker Vinod Kapri is renowned for telling some touching and fascinating tales that can motivate or just make one smile. This post of his is not any different. Kapri posted a cute video from Pakistan on Twitter. He also included a heartfelt tale from his trip journals.

The image was posted by Farid Khan and features a visitor who is blocking an orange vendor. Other individuals immediately object as the man tries to pay the shopkeeper for the fruit. One man even goes so far as to refer to the visitor as a mehmaan (guest) of the nation and declines to accept any payment.

Kapri talked about one similar event he had while in Karachi. “I experienced a similar scenario in Karachi as well. Shahbaz owned the shop. He first ordered lassi after learning that I was from India, then after going shopping, he refused to take the money. I am merely from the same country, according to Shahbaz. He finally agreed to take half of the money after some persistent pleas from my end,” Kapri recalled.

Almost 1.3 million people have watched the video, and there have been many comments. Positive feedback was received from viewers of the unusual video. Visitors were astounded by the friendliness of Pakistan’s common people.
