‘Bartan majne se toh accha hai auto chalana’: Female auto driver’s unexpected take on work and freedom goes viral

A simple city ride in Bengaluru is now getting a lot of attention online. What started as an ordinary auto journey has turned into a widely shared moment on social media. The reason is a short conversation that many users say feels real, simple, and relatable.

The video, posted on Instagram, has already crossed millions of views and continues to be discussed for the way it captures a casual but meaningful exchange between a passenger and an auto driver.

How a routine Bengaluru ride turned into a viral clip

The video was shared by Shreyashi Sinha, an Amazon employee based in Bengaluru. According to the post, the ride began like any other day in the city.

The auto driver arrived for the pickup, but there was a small issue with her phone, and she asked for help with directions. During the ride, a normal conversation started between the passenger and the driver.

At one point, the passenger asked her what made her choose to drive an autorickshaw. The answer she gave has now been widely shared online.

A simple response that caught everyone’s attention

The driver explained her choice in a very direct and honest way, speaking about what her work gives her in daily life.


She said, “Bartan majne se toh accha hai auto chalana, kyuki mujhe ghumna bhi pasand hai aur yahan time ka bhi koi restriction nahi hai jitna marzi, jab marzi auto chala sakti hu aur kahin bhi ja sakti hu” (Driving an auto is better than washing utensils because I love travelling too, and here there are no restrictions on time; I can drive an auto as much as I want, whenever I want, and go anywhere). I can drive as much as I want, whenever I want, and go wherever I wish.)

Her words highlight how she views her job as providing her with flexibility and freedom in managing her time. The simplicity of her explanation is what has made the clip stand out for many viewers.

Social media response and growing reach

The comment section saw a large number of reactions. Many users said the conversation felt refreshing and honest. Several appreciated how the driver expressed her thoughts in such a clear and simple manner.

Others pointed out that such everyday moments often carry strong messages, even though they occur during routine situations, such as a city ride.
