A short social media post about a young man choosing love over social status has gone viral, striking a chord with thousands of users across platforms. The story, shared widely on X, Instagram and Facebook, narrates a dramatic moment where a wealthy family’s son openly stands up to class barriers and proposes to the woman he loves, a sandwich seller.

However, the reaction was not what he expected. The mother allegedly refused to consider the marriage, citing social standing and respect in society as her main concern. The mother can be heard saying the video:" Kya kahungi mai sabse, meri bahi sandwich bechti hai?"
When the mother insisted that she now had a certain standing in society, the boy reportedly gave a firm reply that has since become the most quoted line from the story: “Keep your society. My love comes first.”
The moment did not end with words. As per the viral video, the boy then went a step further and proposed to the sandwich seller in front of everyone present.
The story has triggered mixed reactions online. Many users praised the boy for prioritising love and equality over money and social image. Others debated whether such moments are realistic or idealistic, while some questioned the authenticity of the story itself.
Regardless of its origin, the post has reignited conversations around class divide, parental pressure, and the idea that love should not be measured by wealth or status.
As one user summed it up in the comments: “Stories like this remind people that respect comes from character, not bank balance.”
