The entrepreneur generously offered to sponsor Navneet’s education at barber school.
A small act of kindness can have a powerful ripple effect, as seen in a recent interaction between a Pakistani YouTuber and an Indian student in Canada. Hamza Aziz, a Pakistani immigrant working as a nurse, runs the YouTube channel What Motivated You, where he interviews people about their career inspirations. During one such encounter, his generous tip to an Indian student sparked a chain reaction of heartwarming gestures from strangers.
In one of his videos, an Indian student named Navneet arrived at his place to deliver food as an Uber delivery driver. Hamza pointed out that the food was incorrect and Navneet offered to go back to the restaurant to get the right order. Impressed by Navneet’s dedication, Hamza tipped him C$100 (around Rs 6,000) and asked what inspired him to do his current job. Navneet revealed he is from Punjab, living away from his family and hoping to open his own barbershop in Canada.
“Navneet lives alone in Canada, far from his family, sacrificing comfort for a dream. But he’s not just delivering food — he’s also chasing passion. In his free time, Navneet cuts hair. It’s something he genuinely loves. He’s talented, passionate, and dreams of one day opening his very own barbershop in Canada,” Hamza wrote in the caption.
The video went viral and received over four million views. An entrepreneur saw the footage and offered to sponsor Navneet’s barber school education. In the second part of the video, Hamza shared that a GoFundMe page was set up where many people donated money to buy Navneet new haircut tools for his barber training.
Later, as a gesture of thanks for all the support, Navneet invited Hamza over for a haircut.
“During the cut, Navneet opened up about his longing for his family in India — whom he hasn’t seen in over 4 years — and his dream to make them proud by opening his own barbershop in Canada one day,” Hamza shared in the caption.
“Navneet’s journey is a reminder that when you follow your passion, anything is possible,” he added.
