A simple ticket-checking moment has turned into one of the internet’s latest obsessions. A short Instagram reel featuring a bearded ticket collector (TC) inside an AC train compartment, probably a Vande Bharat, has gone viral, prompting netizens to hunt for him online.
The clip, set to Arijit Singh’s soulful track “Akhiyaan Milavanga” from Commando 3, shows the TC walking through the aisle, checking tickets, while a woman sits across from him. Overlaid text reads: “Haaye, agar aisa TC ho to daily train se travel karu.”
This simple sentiment captured the mood of viewers who were instantly smitten.
Here’s the clip:
The reel has sparked a flurry of comments, blending humour, admiration, and curiosity.
One viewer joked, “Ticket fek do khidki se fir ye tumhe pakad ke le jayega (Throw the ticket out of the window and then he’ll catch you).”
Another wrote, “Sarkari naukar hai wo, bht sunder biwi milegi use, tum khwab mat dekho (He’s a government employee, he’ll get a very beautiful wife, don’t dream about him).”
Some users could not resist imagining the scenario in real life. “Dusro ke bhai, bete, boyfriend pe nazar daalti ho laaj nahi aati? Waise kisi route ki train hai ye? (Don’t you feel shy looking at someone else’s brother, son, or boyfriend? By the way, which route is this train on?)”
Others shared their excitement and longing, with one user saying, “I don’t have ticket, pls mujhe pakad lo (I don’t have a ticket, please catch me).”
Another comment clarified, “I know him, he is married.”
Still, some users continued to dream. One said, “Shatabdi, Vande Bharat, Rajdhani sab mein journey karke dekh liya… Kahan hai aise TC, mujhe bhi apni aankhe sekni hain, I really don’t care ki wo bhi kisika bhai aur beta hai. (I’ve travelled on Shatabdi, Vande Bharat and Rajdhani. Where is such a TC? I also want to feast my eyes, I really don’t care if he’s someone’s brother or son.)”
The reel going viral has also caught the attention of users who imagined the TC himself discovering his sudden fame.
“Meanwhile imagine this reel pops in his suggestions,” said one user.
“Viral kar diya ladke ko, usko pata bhi nhi hoga ki famous ho gya hai. (The guy has gone viral, he probably doesn’t even know he’s become famous.)”
Others, in typical social media fashion, lamented the lack of details. “This is sooooo wrong! Posting this reel without the train number and route details—What is this behaviour.”
Fans are now planning train journeys in the hopes of seeing him in person. One user wrote, “We need to go by Vande Bharat soon, when shall we plan?”
From Shatabdi to Vande Bharat, this TC has captured hearts online, proving that sometimes it’s the smallest, everyday moments, like checking a ticket, that can make someone an overnight sensation.
