- The passenger, X user Nandini Gupta, posted a screenshot of the WhatsApp message and the post spread widely on social platforms.
- After the post gained attention, the passenger said she had passed the rider’s number to some HR contacts to try to help him find a job.
- The viral thread produced mixed responses with many praising the rider’s effort and others raising safety and privacy concerns about how drivers obtain passenger contact details.
