Lucknow, September 16 

After Ranu Mandal struck gold while singing "Ek pyar ka nagma hai" at the Ranaghat railway station in West Bengal, it is time for Vinod, an Uber driver in Lucknow, to grab attention with his mellifluous voice.

Vinod was humming a song when his rider requested him to sing a full song.

The driver went on to sing Kumar Sanu's hit "Nazar ke saamne", the hit number from "Aashiqui" (1990).
