Kanpur paan seller surprises wife with a gold chain bought with ₹1 lakh coins.
A husband with two bulging sacks, thousands of coins, and a heartfelt plan to surprise his wife has won hearts on the internet. His plan to buy a gold chain for his wife with the ₹1 lakh he had collected also stunned a Kanpur jeweller. The man walked into his shop with his entire year’s savings, hoping to surprise his wife with a gold chain. As per reports in DainikBhaskar, the incident occurred at a jewellery store in Ahirwan Raja market. The man quietly placed two heavy bags full of coins on the shop’s counter and began opening them, revealing a mountain of coins.
The jeweller was shocked by the man’s gesture for his wife.
The man, 22, is identified as Abhishek Yadav, who runs a paan shop near HAL Colony in Kanpur’s Ramadevi area. His shop sees constant footfall, and “most of them,” Yadav said, “pay with ₹10 coins.” Instead of exchanging them for currency notes, he began saving them with a purpose. Yadav, who married a year ago, had long wished to give his wife something special. He decided a gold chain would be a perfect surprise and started putting aside coins for it. When his wife recently left to visit her parents, he felt it was the ideal time to make the purchase finally. Mahesh Verma, the jeweller, told a leading portal, “I was shocked initially when he (Abhishek) put the bag on the counter and said that it had coins worth more than ₹1 lakh.” After counting, they discovered that Abhishek had brought 5,290 coins of ₹20 each, a total of ₹1.05 lakh. The gold chain Yadav had chosen was priced at ₹1.25 lakh. Verma confirmed, “The chain will be ready in a few days.” Meanwhile, Yadav said, “I’ll present it to her when she returns from her parents’ house.”
