"I Love Driving": Bengaluru Girl Says She Enjoys Being An Auto Driver, Wins Hearts

A young Bengaluru woman has won hearts on social media with her spirited embrace of life as an auto-rickshaw driver, defying societal norms. Safura Khan's story gained widespread attention after social media influencer Tamanna Tanweer rode in her vehicle. The two had a conversation that was filmed and shared online, quickly going viral. In the video, Ms Tanweer shared her story, bringing attention to her life as an autorickshaw driver in Bengaluru. 

In the video, the influencer shared that she stumbled upon Ms Khan's autorickshaw and was intrigued by the rare sight of a young woman driving. She decided to interact with her, capturing their conversation on camera. During their exchange, Ms Khan shared her inspiring story, revealing that she's always been passionate about driving. Despite financial constraints that made buying a car impossible, she opted for an autorickshaw, allowing her to pursue her dream and break into a male-dominated field, working on her terms.

"I love driving any vehicle. Car, auto, bike, anything I can drive. It's just that I can buy an auto in my budget. So I don't have the budget for buying a Swift car. So I thought I would go with the auto first. Then we'll see in the future if I can buy or not," she told Ms Tanweer.

"Whatever I am doing, I am not feeling 'Oh, it's a Monday. I have to go to work. I am enjoying every single day, and I'm happy. I'm full of energy," she added.
