(MENAFN- Live Mint) A street vendor's honesty has taken the Internet by storm. The video showing the heartwarming encounter between a street vendor and a Scottish tourist on the bustling streets of Hyderabad has introduced social media users to the "most honest man" in India.
The viral video, shared by the Scottish tourist Hugh on Instagram, begins with the vendor selling pearl necklaces. When the vendor approaches the tourist, he openly declares that the pearls are not genuine but“cultured” and shares that the pearl necklace is just ₹150.
The vendor also had a lower-quality necklace with him, on which he conducted a quick test to show how a plastic pearl would burn when lit.

While not real, the vendor said his pearls are a better "second quality" and won't melt like plastic.
This was not all! Another vendor tried to sell the tourist a copy of Ray Ban sunglasses for ₹1,000, which Hugh said was“Oh, very expensive!” At this moment, the pearl vendor interjects with a knowing smile, saying,“It's tourist price,” earning even more appreciation for his honesty.
Impressed by the vendor's transparent honesty, the tourist beams with delight.
