Trigger Click on a DIV after Click on a Button which opens a Modal

I have a Loop with a lot of post and each post has a video-modal which opens after a click on a <button></button> element. Below the button is the html part for the modal. To autoplay the video (after opening the modal) I need to trigger a click on the div element with the classclass="start". Here is the setup

<button class="btn btn-default" id="video-modals-loop" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#001">Play Video</button>

<div class="modal loop-video-modals" id="001">
    <div class="modal-dialog">
        <div class="modal-header">
            <button class="close" aria-hidden="true" type="button">Close</button>
        </div>                                  
        <div id="#product-video">   
            <div class="start" data-src="https://t-e-s-t.com/"></div>                   
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

I already tried things like

$(document).on('click', '#video-modals-loop', function() {
    $(this).closest("#video-modals-loop").find(".lazyframe").trigger('click');  
});

but Failed miserably. Any idea how to trigger a click after open the modal on the mentioned div?

Edit: It is a bootstrap modal and the start div is separate for each modal.

After reading the jQuery Documentation about .closest() and the following answer on Stackoverflow i was able to solve my problem. The following code works fine. Hope this helps others too. 

$(document).on('click', '#video-modals-loop', function() {
    $(this).closest('div').find('.start').click();

    // IF needed you can use a timeout to delay the click event
    // setTimeout(function(){ 
        // $(this).closest('div').find('.start').click();
    // },1);

    return false;
});

If u are trying this on desktop its okay, But it wont work in mobile devices coz auto play doesn't support in mobile devices, Take care of that

https://www.tutorialrepublic.com/codelab.php?topic=faq&file=autoplay-youtube-video-within-bootstrap-modal

One more thing, below code doesn't work here properly, because our snippet output window also works as mobile/small device, just copy code run it from your system then it works fine.

    });
    
    /* Assign empty url value to the iframe src attribute when
