Watch: Jeweller Refuses Money From 93-year-old Man Buying Wife A Mangalsutra
Nivrutti Shinde walked into Gopika Jewellers with his wife, Shantabai, to buy her a mangalsutra.
True love doesn't need big gestures; sometimes a small act is enough. A video of a 93-year-old man, Nivrutti Shinde, walking into a jewellery store with his wife, Shantabai, to buy her a Mangalsutra has gone viral and it's melting a million hearts. The video is from Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
In a simple white dhoti-kurta and cap, the man stepped into the store. At first, the staff assumed they needed help or financial support. But the man told them that he wanted to buy a mangalsutra for his wife.
After they carefully selected a mangalsutra, the shopkeeper asked how much money they had. The couple said they had Rs 1,120. When the woman offered the money, the shopkeeper smiled and joked, 'So much money?" But the elderly man took it seriously and added some coins to the amount.
The small gesture touched the shopkeeper's heart. He decided not to take full payment. Instead, he gave the mangalsutra to the couple and took only Rs 20 as a symbolic charge.
'The couple entered the shop and the man gave me Rs 1,120, saying he wanted to buy a mangalsutra for his wife. I was overwhelmed by his gesture. I just took Rs 20 from him as a token of blessings, and handed over the mangalsutra to the couple," the owner said as quoted by Hindustan Times.
This gesture moved the couple to tears. They were touched by the shopkeeper's kindness.
The video of the moment has taken social media by storm. It was widely shared on X (formerly Twitter), where users praised both the couple and the jeweller.
Someone simply called it 'so wholesome."
'The tears of happiness and contentment of those elderly couple will bless him and his generation to come," a person admired.
A viewer remarked, 'Should be the only couple goal. So much love. An eye opener for modern people," while an individual added, 'Everything about this video is beautiful to watch."
'Stories like these are so wonderful and heartwarming," read another comment.
As per the outlet, Nivrutti and Shantabai are farmers from Ambhora Jahagir village in Jalna district. The couple is currently on a foot pilgrimage to Pandharpur for the Ashadhi Ekadashi festival.

He was expected to be discharged soon, as his film Kingdom is also up for release soon. Now his team has confirmed to Hindustan Times that the actor is recovering well after being released from the hospital. The team member told Hindustan Times, "Yes, Vijay had dengue. It was initially thought that he had a fever, and he could just recover from it at home. However, once the doctor diagnosed him with dengue, he was moved to a private hospital in Hyderabad for faster recovery. He was there for three days and has now been discharged." Though Vijay Deverakonda needs to gain back his strength slowly, he's gung-ho about his film Kingdom releasing on July 31, 2025. The actor had shot some of the film's promotional videos earlier, which will be rolled out soon. He will also do media interactions next week.

Zoho Founder Reveals Skills Children Should Learn To Excel In Life
Zoho's founder Sridhar Vembu believes that children should learn certain skills to excel in life, beyond just academic excellence. Vembu emphasised the importance of skills like art, music, poetry, sports and cooking. According to him, these skills help develop pattern recognition, creativity, balance and critical thinking. Pure mathematics, carnatic music, bharatanatyam, classical art, sculpture, chess or go, mridangam, classical poetry, fine cooking - what is common to all of them? (apart from the fact that I am not good in any of them 😁, at least I get to appreciate some of them) We need… — Sridhar Vembu (@svembu) July 22, 2025 Also Read | Influencer Goes For A Swim In Her "Favourite Spot" In Cape Town, It Turns Out To Be Sewage Water In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Vembu wrote, "Pure mathematics, carnatic music, bharatanatyam, classical art, sculpture, chess or go, mridangam, classical poetry, fine cooking - what is common to all of them?" "We need children to have a decent exposure to these at a young age - not because we expect them to grow up to be brilliant mathematicians or world class chess players or world class chefs but because an exposure to these help them to be good at whatever they end up doing." Vembu stated that by exposure, he doesn't mean competitive pressure. Exposure to art and sculpture can help someone become a great architect, he added. He stressed that exposure to these skills is more important than becoming an expert, as it can help children become well-rounded individuals. His approach focuses on nurturing curious, sensitive and well-rounded individuals. According to him, these foundational skills can quietly enhance how children think, create and solve problems, regardless of their future paths. Internet reacts to the post The post revived massive traction, users praising his thoughts. "Foster CURIOSITY - children develop pattern recognition, creativity, balance, and critical thinking that enrich whatever they pursue," one user wrote. "Ancient India was good at everything. Unfortunately we are losing touch and unfortunately there are people abandoning it for the sake of being modern. We need to embrace our roots," a second user said. "Beautifully said. These disciplines cultivate attention, abstraction, rhythm, structure, and taste with aspects that improve thought within every field. Rather than mastery, early exposure to depth is what matters. Goal, not prodigies, is the perspective. Learning of any true notice comes from a child following of a Go board or listening to Carnatic music," a third user wrote.
