In Mumbai, Prithviraj has turned an unusual idea into his job, he listens to people’s sorrows, helps ease their emotional burden, and even charges a fee for it. His services range from Rs 250 for listening to smaller troubles to Rs 1,000 for sitting and crying alongside someone. Standing in busy public spaces with a banner, he invites people to share what’s weighing on their hearts. Surprisingly, many do approach him, seeking comfort and a chance to unburden themselves. After paying the fee, they open up about their struggles, while Prithviraj listens, offers advice and provides emotional support.
