According to the viral video shared on Instagram by Indonesian content creator @indaha.l, the woman was attempting to recreate a famous cinematic moment inspired by the film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. She was standing near the doorway of a stationary train at New Delhi Railway Station (NDLS) while filming herself when the incident occurred.
During the recording, her scarf slipped through the narrow gap between the train and the platform and fell onto the railway tracks. The woman appeared visibly startled as she processed the situation. Before she could take any action, a man walking nearby noticed the incident and immediately intervened.
The man initially attempted to retrieve the scarf from the platform itself but was unable to reach it safely. He then climbed down onto the railway tracks, carefully retrieved the item, and returned it to her. After handing it back, he offered a brief smile and walked away without seeking attention or engaging in further interaction.
The content creator later expressed her surprise at the swift assistance. Referring to Shah Rukh Khan’s character Rahul in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, she remarked, “Rahul came at the right time.” She further stated that she had not expected such quick help, adding, “By the way, I thought no one would be respectful or caring, but someone actually helped so quickly. Thank you so much.”
The video also captured widespread reactions from social media users. Many praised the man’s actions as selfless and respectful. One user commented that he retrieved the scarf without expecting even a simple expression of gratitude in return. Another noted that he helped without any inappropriate behavior or unnecessary interaction, describing him as calm and respectful before walking away.
Several users humorously framed the moment as the beginning of a cinematic romantic storyline, while others highlighted his quiet departure as characteristic of a heroic figure.
However, not all reactions were lighthearted. Many viewers expressed concern over the significant safety risks involved in stepping onto active railway tracks. One user wrote that the act involved serious danger. Another commented on the anxiety caused by the possibility of train movement. Additional viewers emphasized that even if signals appeared safe, sudden train operations or shunting movements could have resulted in a fatal accident.
The incident has drawn attention not only for its emotional and viral appeal but also for the underlying safety hazards associated with railway track access, especially in busy stations such as New Delhi Railway Station.
Ultimately, the episode highlights both the spontaneity of human assistance in public spaces and the critical importance of safety awareness in high-risk railway environments.
