Comedian Vir Das fulfilled his promise of meeting a fan who loves his ‘wit and sarcasm’. He took to social media to share a picture of himself with her and even wrote a caption expressing gratitude. He went on to say that the woman made his year.

It all started with a woman named Violet D’Souza Monis leaving a comment on one of the Instagram posts shared by Vir Das. Though the comment got just 46 likes, it managed to earn the attention of the comedian, who promised her to buy tickets to his show in her city.

You were so kind to me, the things you said, you made my year. Thank you,” wrote Das while sharing an image. The image is split into two - one has the screenshots of their exchange on Instagram, and the other shows them smiling for the camera as they hug one another.

Since being shared a few hours ago, the post has accumulated thousands of likes. Many even flocked to the comments section of this Instagram post to share their thoughts.

D’Souza dropped a comment on the post. She wrote, “The man who rules the stage. Today, I had the privilege as a guest of Mr Vir Das to attend his show on his MINDFOOL tour of India. I came away with several emotions and thoughts that would not do justice to the man. His unassuming aura hides a brilliant mind. With his humour and witty sarcasm, he vocalises issues which we safely brush away not wanting to be involved less we get flack for it. It was in a very very long time I could really experience that full belly laugh which kept me going right through the show. You are the stuff legends are made of Mr Vir Das, and I wish you every success in your many many tours around the world. Stay blessed as always. Thank you for your kindness. We will meet again.”

Actor Sumona Chakravarti also reacted to this post and wrote, “Kindness is all one needs in this world, Vir.”
