A heartening gesture by an employee at a Burger King outlet is garnering a lot of praise and appreciation on social media. So much so that even the company organised a ceremony to felicitate the good samaritan, who helped a girl with a burger. The little one walked into the food joint with ₹10 in her hand. She wanted to buy a burger, which cost ₹90. Here comes Dheeraj Kumar, who was standing on the other side of the counter. Mr Kumar added the extra money required for the purchase and the little girl got the burger. The incident took place on World Food Day.
हाथ में दस रुपए लेकिन बर्गर खाने के लिए चाहिए थे 90 रुपए, लेकिन काउंटर के पीछे बैठे व्यक्ति ने मना नहीं किया खुद से 80 रुपए मिलाकर बच्ची को बर्गर दे दिया। ये है #WorldFoodDay2022 पर छोटी सी हैप्पी एंडिंग वाली कहानी।#foodpic.twitter.com/J5c19n0RWg— Aditya Kumar (@Adityakripa) October 16, 2022
Burger King has also shared pictures from the felicitation ceremony on Twitter. For the caption, they wrote, “This World Food Day, Dheeraj Kumar, working at our Noida Botanical Garden Metro Station restaurant, has inspired us all with his beautiful act of kindness. We had a very special guest who walked into our restaurant asking for a #burger but had only ₹10 with her.”

A user wrote, “I am glad that Dheeraj has been felicitated. The girl seems to be from an underprivileged section of society. Burger King would have done better by financing the education of that little girl.”
