The patience, professionalism, and friendliness of one Rapido driver were evident when a regular journey in Gurgaon turned into a torturous six-hour traffic nightmare. While stuck in traffic with a nervous female passenger, he maintained calmness, ensured she was comfortable, and made sure she made it home safely.
This earned him not just her sincere thanks but also the admiration of the internet after Rapido read her viral tweet thanking him. The touching incident has now evolved into a moment deserving of praise, demonstrating how even modest deeds of kindness can make a big difference in the hectic world of today.
What Was The Incident?
I want to thank ur driver partner Mr. Suraj Maurya from bottom of my heart. He was with me for 6+ hours because of #GurgaonTraffic but didn’t complain at all. Dropped me home in these waters. Politely said ma’am pay whatever extra u want.

A video that Bhardwaj posted on September 1, showed an excessive amount of water pooling on the road. One of the commuters stuck in the “Gurgaon” floods that overtook the city a few days ago, Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj, explained how Suraj Maurya took her home after she spent hours delayed in traffic.
“I sincerely appreciate your driver partner, Mr. Suraj Maurya. Despite Gurgaon traffic, he stayed with me for more than six hours without complaining, and left me in these waters to return home.” In her post, Bhardwaj described Maurya as an “absolute gem” and politely stated, “Ma’am, pay whatever extra u want.”
