Bangladeshi journalist Redwan Ahmed Shawon was live reporting on a sidewalk when a surprising and touching moment occurred. The video, taken for Ekhon TV, captured a passing stranger straightening the reporter’s collar before walking off.
The moment, which happened amidst the commotion of the street, went viral in no time, providing a refreshing respite from the usual online arguments and controversies.
Live TV Moment Captures Unexpected Kindness
Just as cycle rickshaws wheeled past on his left, a bespectacled gentleman in a beige kurta, with a bag slung over his shoulder, came walking up from the other direction. He nearly passed him by, then stopped, turned around, and took a moment to examine an urgent problem—Mr. Shawon’s somewhat askew collar. This was a crisis that couldn’t be left unattended!
Without hesitation, the man extended his hand, straightened the journalist’s collar with precision, and then walked away, job done. Shawon, being a professional, went on as if nothing had occurred—unaware that his small fashion adjustment was going to go viral.
Social Media Responds to the Viral Video
The touching act moved the audience so much that social media users flooded the comments section with good responses as soon as they saw the clip. Posting the clip, Mr. Shawon captioned it, “Pookie Hujur,” which means “cute sir.”
One of the users said, “Brother, what a lovely moment. There are still so many modest people around us. Just like an older brother.” Another said, “I like this very much.” A third user said, “It’s stupid to mock someone who has done something good.”
Another remark was about the character of social responses, and it said, “We live in a stupid society where people are mocked when they do something good.”
Other Viral Moments of Live TV
This moment adds to other classic live television moments, including BBC weather reader Carol Kirkwood’s run-in with a bouncy dog. When reporting on Wimbledon, Kirkwood was comically pulled away by a dog that chased a tennis ball out of her hands. She likened the incident to a similar 2021 incident when a guide dog yanked her off her feet while giving a weather forecast at the Chelsea Flower Show.
In a world so frequently beset by darkness, something as simple as this is a reminder that kindness and humanity can still be found in daily life.
