Shark Tank India: Aman Gupta shares a viral video of a boy who runs back home from work at midnight, calls it 'inspiring'

A video of a 19-year-old boy, Pradeep running back home after his shift at McDonald's in Noida has taken the internet by storm. Many people have been sharing the video taken by filmmaker Vinod Kapri online, calling it 'inspiring'. The video has come to the notice of the shark Aman Gupta as well. 

The video shows the young lad running at midnight. A filmmaker recorded the video from his car. He is heard asking him why is he running. The teenager shares his story. He says he is aspiring to join the Indian Army and he is practicing running for it. As he does not get time to run in the morning since he needs to prepare food and reach his workplace at 8 am, he runs 10 km back home.  

Despite offering a lift to the boy a couple of times, he politely refuses, saying that he will not otherwise get to practice his running and he needs to reach home to cook dinner so that his older brother can eat when he returns after his night shift. The boy from Uttarakhand has a mother back home who is hospitalised and he along with his brother are trying to make their ends meet.
