He only had Rs 1,120, but his heart was full of love. 93-year-old wanted to give it all to buy his wife a mangalsutra. Watch
elderly couple
, who are farmers from Ambhora Jahagir village in Jalna district, were on a pilgrimage to Pandharpur for the Ashadhi Ekadashi festival when they stopped at a jewellery shop. What unfolded next touched the hearts of many across the country.
Not Just Jewellery, But a Token of Love
For those unfamiliar, a mangalsutra is a sacred necklace in Hindu tradition, symbolizing the bond of marriage. But for Nivrutti, it meant much more—a symbol of decades of companionship. Wearing a simple white dhoti-kurta and cap, Nivrutti walked into a jewellery shop in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar with Rs 1,120 saved up from his limited means. His intention was clear: to buy a mangalsutra for his wife, not as a grand gesture, but as a heartfelt gift of love.

Initially, the store staff assumed the elderly couple might be seeking assistance, as many pilgrims often do. But their assumptions changed when the old man explained why they had come. The quiet dignity in his voice and the bond between the couple moved the shopkeeper deeply.
According to reports, the jeweller was overwhelmed by the gesture. He accepted just Rs 20, treating the rest as a symbolic offering. He said the act wasn't about money but blessings, and he handed over the mangalsutra to the couple, leaving them beaming with joy.
A video of the moment, shared on Instagram by @weareyuvaa, quickly went viral.
Internet Reactions Overflow with Emotion
The footage has since garnered over two crore views across platforms. Netizens filled the comments section with heartfelt reactions, admiring both the couple's love and the jeweller's selfless act. Some called it 'the soul of Bharat,' while others noted how such moments restore faith in humanity. One viewer wrote that true love doesn't need diamonds—just a lifetime of commitment.
While a few questioned whether such personal moments should be filmed, others defended the video, saying that capturing and sharing such rare acts of compassion helps spread positivity and inspire kindness in others.
At its core, this story isn't about jewellery or social media virality. It is about two elderly individuals still walking hand-in-hand—on pilgrimages, through life—and a stranger who chose humanity over business.
