Buying a car is a dream for many, especially in a country like India. One of the major reasons is the price. Cars, whether used or new, are expensive, and not everyone can afford to buy or maintain one. Because of these reasons, many people used to, or still, consider cars a luxury. However, things are slowly changing, and there is a generation emerging that views cars as a necessity for commuting. Here, we have a video where a vlogger shows a street vendor selling fruits on a pushcart who owns a Kia Seltos.

The video has been shared by Gurgaon Times, accompanied by a caption that reads, “The rich street vendors of Golf Course.” The video begins by showing a Kia Seltos parked under a flyover in Gurgaon. It is the current facelifted version of the Seltos, launched in the market last year.
The vlogger looks at the car and then approaches the street vendor selling fruits under the same flyover. He asks the vendor about the Seltos, and in response, the vendor asks why he wants to know. The vlogger explains that he was simply curious, and the vendor reveals that the car belongs to his brother.
The vlogger is surprised to hear this, and the fruit vendor then mentions that his own vehicle is also parked nearby. The vlogger seems stunned, likely not expecting such a response. He then starts to fumble a bit and jokingly asks the vendor whether he could also start a similar business to afford a small car.

The conversation between the vlogger and the fruit vendor remains lighthearted. After chatting for a while longer, the video ends. The comment section under this video is filled with mixed opinions. While some viewers appreciate the vendor’s hard work, others hold different perspectives.
Some of the comments under the video include: “They are better off than salaried employees.” “My milkman comes in a Thar.” “It’s actually not funny. Educated people spend lakhs raising their children, providing them with the best environment and education. Then these children get jobs, work for the government, and pay lakhs and crores in taxes. Meanwhile, vendors invest a few thousand rupees, start small businesses, and pay zero tax—just a municipal commission that ends up in local police pockets. They make ₹2,000–₹3,000 a day in a few peak hours and can afford luxuries that middle or upper-middle-class people struggle to buy.” “dont underestimate the power of common man.”
To an outsider, a street vendor selling fruits may not seem like much work. However, it requires significant effort. The vendor must wake up early in the morning, go to the market, find the best fruits at the best prices, and place an order.
After this, they must transport the fruits back to their cart, arrange them, store them properly, and spend the entire day or evening selling on the streets. There sale is not consistent and they often have to bear losses. This is undoubtedly a physically demanding job, and it’s heartening to see someone achieving success and enjoying the rewards of their hard work.
