Man in 'night dress' boards Vande Bharat train to help wife, ends up travelling with her. Here's why

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Gujarat found himself on an unexpected adventure recently after getting locked inside the Vande Bharat Express train. He had been helping his wife with her luggage when the automated doors closed before he could exit.

The hilarious incident was shared by the man's daughter, Kosha, on social media. Her mother was travelling from Vadodara to Mumbai with two large bags. Her father, like many husbands, helped her load the luggage onto the train and get settled in her seat.

Just as he was about to step off, the automatic doors began beeping and then closed, trapping him inside the moving train. Despite his attempts to get the attention of the Ticket Collector and plead for the train to stop, it was too late and the train had already picked up speed.

This resulted in both parents taking an unplanned journey on the Vande Bharat Express. The mother continued to Mumbai as planned, while the father was headed for the next station, Surat. Now in his nightclothes, he faced the challenge of finding a return ticket to Vadodara while his car remained parked near the Vadodara railway station.

Kosha's post included a photo of her parents on the train. Her father humorously captioned it in Gujarati, referencing both the Vande Bharat and Shatabdi trains, calling it a «premium journey.»

The story quickly went viral, with many people finding humor in the situation. Some users commented on the adventurous spirit of the man, while others shared their own experiences with getting caught by automatic doors.
