For those who are not aware of the full story, it goes like this. In Malviya Nagar, a man and his wife going by the name Kanta Prasad and Badami Devi used to earn their daily bread by running a stall named Baba Ka Dhaba. Selling all kinds of breakfast and meals, they would save up a little.
But during the last six months, their business which was not running wild before broke down even more. The 80-year-old couple would not even sell a bare minimum to survive.
Then came a twist in their story as a YouTuber whose handle goes by the name @YoutubeSwadOfficial reached out and decided to offers some help. He made a video introducing the couple and put forward all their problems in the 11-minute long video.
The video went viral, with everyone sharing it. Then twitter caught the hang of it and started the retweets, hashtags which led to #babakadhaba hashtags become trending for the day.
Now, those netizens who are only considered good enough for trolling or punching down on someone with a bad taste lately actually did something nice. They make sure the video receives maximum support.
Well! The rest is history and the next day when Kanta Prasad went to his shop at his usual time. He found that people were already waiting outside in order to taste the food prepared by them.
