According to the customer's social media post, the weather was completely clear when the food order was placed. However, within just 15 minutes, a heavy rainstorm hit the area. When the doorbell rang, the customer was shocked to see the Zomato delivery partner standing outside, drenched from head to toe after braving the downpour to complete the order.


Despite the heavy rain and not wearing a raincoat or any protective gear, the delivery rider made sure the customer's food arrived completely dry. The rider had cared more about protecting the customer's order than his own comfort. Moved by the sight of the drenched rider, the customer asked why he wasn't wearing a raincoat in such bad weather. The rider's heartbreaking reply in Hindi left many emotional: "Bhaiya kaam to kaise bhi ho jaata hai, agar kaam nahi karunga to gharwalo ke taane padenge." In other words, the rider meant that the work gets done one way or another, but if he fails to show up or earn money, he would have to face constant criticism and taunts from his family back home.
