Australian woman Bree Steele, based in Mumbai, praised her Indian Uber driver in a viral Instagram video after a heartwarming experience during Chhath Puja traffic. Her 15-minute commute stretched to nearly two hours due to festival celebrations. Stuck for 30 minutes, the driver brought her complimentary water, refusing payment and saying, "You are our guest." He later returned with kebabs and canned drinks to ensure they wouldn't go hungry. Steele called Indian Uber drivers "next-level icons," recalling past memorable encounters including one who drove through floodwaters to reach the airport and another who retrieved her fallen shoe. Her post resonated widely, with social media users celebrating the driver's warmth and generosity during festive chaos.
