Recently, a man going by the name Aarif Shah uploaded a video of a helpless woman who runs a Dhaba to earn a livelihood.

After lending a helping hand to 'Baba Ka Dhaba' couple, social media users are extending help to other stall owners, by encouraging people to visit and try their food. Encouraging to do the same for Parvathy Amma, Aarif wrote in the caption, “After Baba ka Dhaba, Keralites turn to help this elderly woman”. Check out the video:
