Srinagar, Jan 04: A touching video of a woman’s brief but heart-warming interaction with a young boy in Ladakh has taken the Internet by storm.
A video shared by Shafeera S, has got over 24 million views on Instagram, showcasing the impact of small acts of kindness.
In her 53 second long video, Shafeera while exploring Ladakh was seen noticing a young boy playing alone and decided to join him.
During their playful exchange, the boy stumbled and fell. In a spontaneous gesture to cheer him up, Shafeera pretends to fall as well. The move sparks a laughter between the two and the short lived joy.
As Shafeera decided to leave saying “Byee” to the little boy, he grew quiet and hid his face towards the bricks, visibly saddened by her departure.
“This broke my heart,” Shafeera shared in her caption.
Unable to forget the boy’s sorrow, she returned the next day with gifts including warm clothes and snacks.
“I am not sure who made whose day more beautiful,” Shafeera wrote after sharing the video on her Instagram.

“Oh my God, I love him. Thank you for giving him the love. I’m crying now,” Pandit wrote in her comment.
“So precious,” added Kaushik in a comment.
