This is the touching moment a woman used protactile to communicate with a blind and deaf actress on the London Underground.

Footage filmed by TikTok user @curlyikram on June 18 shows a woman communicating with her an actress named Raji who is blind and deaf.

The pair are seen using protactile, a language that is orientated towards touch and is practised on the body.

Racking up 2.1 million views, hundreds have left heartwarming comments supporting the couple.

"I met this lady at a deaf-blind event that I went to for my nephew and she’s an absolute angel, her energy the whole evening was beautiful" one user said.

Another commented: "The way people will always find ways to communicate is what makes me cry. Human connection"

Someone even translated what Raji's guide said in the video: “My son came to visit and when I meet with him I cried. I wept. I’ve missed him so much."

Zara Jayne, a fellow actress who runs a joint Instagram page for herself and Raji, commented on the video saying: "A friend sent me this TikTok video of someone filming my friend Raji on the tube communicating with her guide. The comments are positive and focus on human interaction. I hope it brightens your day, and feel free to pass it on."
