Taking a leaf from real life, a private insurance company has paid a well-deserved tribute as an advertisement to Yogita Satav, whose heroic deed of saving a driver&rsquo;s life, shot her to fame. The ad, like the incident, has gone viral on social media.</p>

The actual incident took place on January 7 this year when a group of 20 women and 8 children were travelling in a mini-bus for a picnic near Pune. The driver of the vehicle on the way complained of uneasiness and fainted.</p>
<p>
The passengers tried to revive while some women started calling on their cell phones to get help. Satav sprinkled water on the driver&rsquo;s face but he did not respond. Sensing the gravity of the situation, she decided to take charge. Wasting no time, she quickly took the wheel and drove the mini-bus for the first time in her life. Initially, she was apprehensive but later she gained confidence and drove.</p>
<p>
The homemaker, 42-year-old Satav, drove 10 kilometres to reach Surya Hospital and got the driver admitted for treatment.</p>
<p>
After the incident, Satav sharing her experience with the media had said: &quot;I am a civil engineering graduate. I have been driving small cars like the Maruti Celerio, accent and Omini Van since the last twenty odd years. This is the first time I tried my hands on a big vehicle like a mini-bus.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
The insurance company used the story for the short ad film. The caption of the video which is on Youtube read: &quot;&rsquo;Women can&#39;t drive&rsquo;, you&#39;ve heard this stereotype. It&#39;s time to unhear it. We present to you a story of a courageous woman who took the wheel in the face of adversity. A story that will empower and inspire you to #DriveLikeALady.&rdquo;</p>
