Delhi Rickshaw Driver Goes Viral for Multilingual Tours

Short social videos have turned his language skills and informal guiding into a widely shared example of local hospitality.

Overview

Multiple outlets reported June 11 that videos of a Chandni Chowk rickshaw driver speaking Hindi, English and Spanish drew millions of views and broad online attention.
The driver has been publicly identified as Mohammad Aslam and has worked in Old Delhi for about 17 years while often acting as an informal tour guide.
Aslam’s Instagram account, Aslam Rickshawwala, has grown to roughly 90,000–92,700 followers as clips of him guiding tourists through places like the spice market and Red Fort spread.
Coverage highlights his warm, conversational style and efforts to learn languages—he tells reporters he practises with passengers and online videos—which viewers praised as improving tourists’ impressions of India.
The reporting notes that follower counts and view totals are approximate and that the story rests on selected short clips rather than independent verification of the full scope of his language fluency or guiding work.
