Why Is Pradeep Mehra Running In The Dead Night?
Vinod Kapri shared a video on his Twitter account. At around 12 pm, a boy on Noida Street ran away with a bag on his back. In this video, he offered to drop the little boy off. But the boy kept running.
Originally from Uttarakhand, Pradeep runs from his job in Noida sector 16 to his home in Barola.
Pradeep Mehra reveals that he runs every day for six miles at night to be selected for the Indian Army.
He added that he was living with his older brother. His mother is in the hospital and is being treated. Everyday Pradeep Mehra works in the morning, so he does not have time to train because he has to wake up at 8 am every day and cook food before going out to work. As a result, he has started running at night.
Vinod also offers dinner to the young boy at his house when Pradeep politely refuses to say what will my brother eat? He added that his brother has a night shift at work and he can’t cook for himself at the moment.
Vinod Kapri also assured him that the video will be viral to that Pradeep Mehra says “Who is going to recognize me?” he further added even if the clip goes viral, “I do nothing wrong.”
This is PURE GOLD❤️❤️
