An auto-rickshaw driver in India's Mumbai turned his vehicle into the "first home system" with several basic facilities to provide a comfortable ride to the passengers.

Images of Satyawan Gite's modified vehicle has gone viral on social networking sites, including former actress Twinkle Khanna.

The images show the auto decked up with several facilities ranging from washbasin to mobile charging points. Moreover, it also has several potted plants.

However, before knowing what Twinkle Khanna or other netizens wrote, here's a video which shows Satyawan Gite with his auto:

"Washbasin and a desktop monitor, this genius Mumbai rickshaw belongs in the jugaad Hall of Fame," Twinkle Khanna wrote while sharing an image of the auto.

"You can charge your phone in my auto. There is purified drinking water and there is a washbasin. I also don't charge senior citizens for rides up to one kilometer. The reason I did this is that I wanted to provide better services to passengers," the driver told a news agency ANI.

Asked about Twinkle Khanna's photograph of his auto on Instagram, the driver was pleasantly surprised and said he admires the former actress and her husband Akshay Kumar.

"I didn't know about it but I am very surprised as well. I am a big fan of her and Akshay Kumar. I wish I could meet Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna," said Gite.
