The couple's daughter, known by her handle @imkosha, shared the unusual sequence of events on social media. According to her account, her mother was traveling to Mumbai for the first time on the Vande Bharat Express, equipped with two sizable bags for an extended stay.

As the train arrived at the platform, the husband promptly aided his wife with the luggage, ensuring her comfort for the journey ahead. However, amidst the boarding chaos, an unforeseen mishap unfolded—the train's automatic door closed, trapping the husband inside just as the train commenced its departure.

In a mix of disbelief and humor, Kosha recounted how her father promptly sought assistance from the train conductor to halt the train and facilitate his exit. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain, as the train had already gained momentum.

Left with an unexpected predicament, the couple embarked on a unique adventure. While the mother continued her journey to Mumbai, the father found himself making an unplanned stop at Surat, endeavoring to secure a return ticket to Vadodara. Clad in his nightwear, he faced the challenge of locating the family car, parked somewhere near the Vadodara railway station.

Despite the initial alarm, the incident soon became a source of amusement for social media users, who empathized with the couple's unexpected turn of events.

Kosha concluded her narrative with a picture of her parents, their faces obscured, alongside a screenshot from a family WhatsApp group where her father jests about the incident.

Social media users joined in with humorous responses to the incident. One user quipped about the father's concern over the parked car, while another joked about his anticipation of bachelor life. A third user highlighted the unnoticed romantic aspect of the incident, emphasizing the father's deliberate parking choice for quality time with his wife.
