Watch: Stopped from carrying gulab jamuns, Indian man shares them with Thai officials

An Indian man was told at the Phuket airport that he would not be allowed to carry his tin of gulab jamuns, but what he did next won a lot of hearts.

The passenger, identified as Himanshu Devgan on his Instagram account, was told by airport officials in Thailand's southern province that the gulab jamuns can't go with his luggage.

But instead of dumping it there as most passengers do, Devgan then proceeded to open the tin and distribute the Indian sweet among the Thai officials there.


The video he shared on social media showed an amused and very happy staff member at the airport following his example and dip her fingers into the tin to pull out a gulab jamun.

"When they restricted us from carrying gulab jamuns at the security check, we decided to to share our happiness with them," he wrote on the video

The video sure drew a lot of warm and happy smiles since it was shared on September 24.

"Now that's a delicious revenge for not allowing Gulab Jamuns on the plane," commented a user.

"Best use instead of turning into waste," said another.

"The staff is absolutely sweet there," said a third user. For sure they were. They may have been strict with the rules but the staff smiled and sportingly posed for the camera to spread the sweet cheer to more than a million others.
