A video of a 19-year-old running on the road in Noida at midnight is going viral on social media and is winning hearts on the internet. The clip was shared on March 20 by filmmaker Vinod Kapri. The boy, identified as Pradeep Mehra, who wants to join the Indian Army, turned down Kapri's offer of giving him a ride home despite being soaked in sweat.
Kapri, who was recording the video from his car, repeatedly asks Mehra why he is running in the middle of the road at midnight, the boy responds "To join the army." Mehra works at McDonald's and doesn't get time to run because of his shift.
