A heartwarming video is going viral for all the right reasons. It shows a young girl, possibly someone’s niece, getting emotional after being surprised with an iPhone by a man, likely her uncle, even though she didn’t hit her academic “target”, because children’s efforts matter more than just the numbers on a report card.
The video, shared by Instagram user @faridabadcouple, starts with a caption in Hindi: “12th mein 90% marks ane par iPhone milega, ye deal hui thi, par 88% aye toh bitiya rone lagi.” (“The deal was that she’d get an iPhone if she scored 90% in her Class 12 exams, but she cried after getting 88%.”)
In the clip, the man walks into the living room with a box of sweets. The girl, who looks visibly upset, opens the box without much excitement. But then he surprises her with another box – this one containing a brand new iPhone. The disbelief and pure joy on her face are priceless.
Another caption appears: “Chalo, bitiya ki mehnat ka inaam de hi diya jaye” (“Alright, let us reward our girl for her hard work.”)
Overwhelmed, she sinks to the floor. She hugs the man in pure gratitude. It’s a scene that’s making the Internet go “aww”.
