The footage was shared on Instagram by Kalpak, a photographer living in Kolkata. The couple was situated in a metro train's corner seats, and the man was attempting to take a photo with his wife.
After a few unsuccessful efforts, the man's wife promised him that they would obtain a good shot. Finally, before exiting the train, they rose up and took additional photos. "Wait for the good picture. Life just gets a little better with the right person, isn’t it?", says the video's caption.
The video was published on November 21 and has received over four million views and over six lakh likes since then. Many people commented on the Instagram video with heart emojis.
"That's a love story right there," a user commented.
A few comments suggested that the admin should have taken their photo, but another user countered that it would have ruined their moment together.
"Of course, people commenting 'help kar deta' do not. They're having fun and growing together, and that's all that matters in the end. I appreciate the admin not making an unpleasant situation worse by offering assistance. They achieved it by capturing the adorable moment on their own," the user responded.
One user, who was an acquaintance of the couple, commented, "On behalf of the couple in the picture as well as myself, thank you. They are a Chennai-based scientist and doctor couple and were visiting Kolkata. They took the metro to visit my family, and we were meeting after 45 years of being classmates. The photographer deserves a big embrace; you have beautifully captured this sentimental journey and the moments for us to treasure for years to come. We wish you success in all of your artistic endeavours."
Last month, a video of an elderly couple dancing to Lata Mangeshkar's song 'Aa Jaane Jaan' went viral. The elderly couple was seen dancing in each other's arms, oblivious to the people around them.
