A 19-year-old boy running towards his home at midnight has caught the attention of filmmaker and author Vinod Kapri. His story has raked in millions of views on the Internet and inspired many people.

The boy named Pradeep Mehra, who is from Uttarakhand but staying with his family in Noida for livelihood.

Vinod Kapri saw him when he was sprinting down a Noida road at midnight. Kapri also offered him a lift but he politely denied it despite he was being soaked in sweat.

This gesture of the youth has impressed the filmmaker. He was keen on knowing more about the boy.

Therefore, he continued talking to Pradeep while driving slowly. The teen also revealed the reason why he was running 10 km at midnight.

Pradeep told Kapri that he was running home from work after completing his shift at McDonald's in Noida Sector 16.

Despite offering the lift to him, Pradeep said that he prefers to run because he doesn’t get time to do it during the day. He further revealed the reason why he was running all the way because he wants to join the army.

While talking to Kapri, the Uttarakhand boy said that he has no time to take training in the morning, as he has to wake up at 8 am every day to cook food before going to work.

Therefore, he runs a 10-km every day from his work in Noida’s Sector 16 to his home in Barola, where he lives with his brother and mother.

He further said that his mother is not well and is currently hospitalized.
