New Delhi, Oct 27: The famed Baba Ka Dhaba couple, who had gone viral on social media recently after a video shared by a food blogger in Delhi received free cataract surgery from Delhi-based doctor Samir Sud.

Last month, an elderly couple in their 80's, who run the now-famous 'Baba Ka Dhaba' took the internet by storm and garnered massive support on social media from netizens after their heartfelt story went viral.

People from all walks of life, including Bollywood celebrities and cricketers, came in support of the couple and asked people to do their bit to help the food vendors.

The couple, whose shop in Malviya Nagar had suffered a huge loss due to COVID-19 lockdown, saw hundreds of people lining up for food after their viral video.
