Mr Borgoyary, who migrated from Northeast India, lives in a cramped room with another person for a mere Rs 500 per month. The video, which garnered over 4.5 million views, showcased the tight living conditions and Mr Borgoyary's positive spirit, even as he cared for a kitten.
Touched by his story, a viewer named Khushi anonymously paid his rent for three months. This act of kindness highlights the outpouring of support Mr Borgoyary received online. Comments ranged from admiration for his work ethic to wishes for better living conditions.
