What would do if you were enjoying your favourite food at an eatery and a monkey approached you and started eating some portion of your meal? You might initially feel frightened by spotting the animal around you, and probably try to shoo it away. However, an Indian man, whose video is going viral on social media, did something different.
Man shares food with monkey
A video of a man eating a meal — appearing to be served at a temple — has taken the Internet by storm. It shows him eating while being seated on the floor and sharing the meal with a monkey.
The visuals show the monkey and the human eating together, from the same plate. While someone tries to shoo the simian away, the man not only stays relaxed, but also prevents the other human from disturbing his ‘guest’.
The video of this rare incident is now doing the rounds on social media and winning the hearts of netizens. The man was appreciated for sharing his meal with the monkey when it approached him for the same.
“Respect for uncle”
“Respect for uncle,” one wrote. “This is so so pure & beautiful.. moist eyed watching this,” another user noted.
A few social media users reflected on the video and suggested that the monkey was no one other than Lord Hanuman himself. One of them wrote: “My eyes are filled with water. May be uncle blessed by God so that Hanuman ji shared his supper with him.”
