Vir Das, the comedian-actor who recently made headlines as the first Indian to host the International Emmy Awards, shared a touching post on Instagram about a fan from Vadodara, Gujarat, who waited two years to attend his show. Their conversation is sure to warm your heart.
As per a screenshot shared by Das, the fan initially contacted him in June 2022, expressing a wish to attend one of the comedian's shows. Unfortunately, his father was unable to afford the tickets due to financial difficulties at that time.
In the first message the kid wrote, "Hi Vir, big fan from Vadodara. I’ve always wanted to attend one of your shows, and this ‘Wanted’ tour was the only hope I was holding onto. Unfortunately, I’m not earning yet, so despite begging my father, he had to deny my request because of financial reasons."
He also shared that he was about to leave for Canada for his higher studies, where he would begin earning and, eventually, be able to attend Das’s show. "This is the thread of hope I’ll hold onto for now! Good luck with the remaining ‘Wanted’ tour, Vir, always rooting for you!" the fan mentioned.
This year, the fan reached out to the comedian again with exciting news, that he had started earning and would be attending his “Mindfool” tour in Toronto.
Posting all these messages, Vir wrote, "KID!!! Posting this because we’re trying to reach you. We’ve DMed you, no response. If you see this, I’m proud of you. You waited over two years to see me, and made the sweetest promise, you’re NOT paying. Please respond to my team."
The post quickly went viral, with many social media users expressing their appreciation for Das's kind gesture. One commented, "It’s one thing to have light within, quite another to recognise that within you and then use it to light the way for someone else" Nother wrote, "We need warnings before you post such messages Vir! I had no tissues nearby"
