Elderly Couple Tries To Take The Perfect Selfie Inside Metro
In the video, the elderly couple is seen warily eyeing their surroundings before sneaking a selfie on the rail. They try several times to take a photo of themselves but are unsuccessful until they click one that pleases them just before getting off the train.
At first glance, they seem like any other old couple, but the origins poster innocently captured the love between the two as they tried very hard to figure out the right way to grab a selfie. First, they could not time their selfies perfectly with the train, as they desired to have a click with the metro running but just could not figure out the timing.

In the midst of their silent chaos, the lady reassured her doubtful husband that they would be able to click a quick selfie as he was about to give up. They shifted their positions a couple of times before finally getting the chance to click a picture as they stood up to exit the metro.

People Online Adored The Puzzled Couple
People on the internet were completely smitten with the elderly couple attempting to figure out new ways of being. A user who claimed to be related to the two wrote under the post, “These two people are both doctors. The lady is my school friend….. a very close friend who I Jane been friends with for over 40 years….. thanks for capturing this!!!!!!”
Among the thousands of comments, many were pointing out how the person who took the whole video could have simply helped the old couple and saved them the misery of figuring out the selfie. However, people also came to defend the original poster and wrote, “People commenting “help kar deta” ofc no they’re enjoying and growing together and that’s all it matters at the end of the day..I appreciate the admin for not making an embarrassing situation by offering help..they did it by capturing the cute lil moments by their own.”

Some even wondered why the couple wanted to take a picture so desperately. A fellow imagined, “Why do i get this feeling, they’re taking this pic to send to their kids or grand kids. Because parents try so much, so many times, only to make their kids happy. Otherwise they don’t worry about clicking photos and stuff.”
