19-year-old man, who runs 10 km every night after work, is an inspiration for all

19-year-old Viral running Boy Pradeep Mehra

New Delhi: Nothing can stop you from achieving your goals if you have the dedication and patience -- that's what a 19-year-old Noida boy Pradeep Mehra has been conveying with a video that has gone viral. On Sunday, filmmaker Vinod Kapri took to Twitter and shared a post that has left everyone inspired. The post includes a video of Pradeep, who runs 10 km every night after his duty at McDonald's in Noida so that he becomes fit enough to join the Indian army one day.

The video shows Vinod Kapri, who's driving a car, interacting with the boy who is sprinting on a road in Noida late night. The filmmaker, presumably out of curiosity, slows down his car and initiates a conversation with him. Despite Vinod Kapri offering him a lift to his home several times, he refused, saying he prefers to run home because he doesn't get the time to do it otherwise during the day. During the conversation, Pradeep revealed that his mother is currently hospitalised, and he lives with his brother in Noida's Barola village.
