New Delhi, December 20, 2025: A candid moment of pure joy has struck a chord online after a new father was filmed breaking into a spirited dance to the trending track ‘FA9LA’ to celebrate the birth of his daughter. The heartwarming footage, which has been widely circulated in December 2025, has transcended the typical viral trend, becoming a symbol of modern fatherhood and gender-equal celebration. The video reached new heights of popularity after it was shared by Bollywood actor Yami Gautam, who hailed the father as the definitive “winner” of the social media trend.
The viral scene unfolded in a hospital corridor, moments after the arrival of a baby girl was announced to the family. In the 19-second clip, a woman (reportedly a relative or nurse) is seen gently grooving while carrying the newborn infant out of the room. As the camera pans, the father is observed waiting in the hallway, visibly overwhelmed with happiness.
Upon seeing his daughter for the first time, a high-energy recreation of the ‘FA9LA’ hookstep was performed by him. The dance, characterized by spontaneous jumps and a broad, infectious smile, was joined by two hospital staff members in the background, briefly transforming the medical facility into a zone of celebration. The pure, unscripted nature of the moment has been cited by thousands of viewers as the reason for its massive emotional impact.

The video gained significant momentum when it was reposted by actor Yami Gautam Dhar on her X (formerly Twitter) handle. As the wife of Aditya Dhar, the director of the film Dhurandhar (from which the song originates), her endorsement carried special weight. A simple but powerful caption was added by her: “Hands down, winner 🙏🏻❤️.”
Beyond the entertainment value, a deeper social significance has been attributed to the video by netizens. In a society where the birth of a daughter has historically been met with mixed emotions in some regions, the sight of a father dancing with such unbridled pride has been praised as a “breath of fresh air.” As the ‘FA9LA’ trend continues to evolve with thousands of reels, this hospital-room celebration remains the gold standard for fans. It serves as a reminder that while stars may create trends, it is the common man’s life-defining moments that truly give them meaning.
