A heartwarming video of a grown-up son surprising his mother with a birthday cake mid-flight is going viral on social media. While birthdays are often celebrated at fancy rooftop restaurants or the terrace of one's own residence, this celebration happened even higher—at 40,000 feet in the air, aboard a commercial flight.
Fitness influencer Abhinav shared the special moment on Instagram, showing him celebrating his mum’s birthday during their journey. The overlay text on the reel reads, “Celebrating mom’s birthday at 40,000 ft.”
Take a look at the video
The clip begins with Abhinav smiling at the camera, hinting viewers with something exciting yet to come. The camera then pans across the aisle to reveal his mother and father seated together. Abhinav extends a small chocolate pastry to his mother, marking the special occasion in a simple yet touching way.
His dad gently offers a wooden knife to facilitate the cake-cutting ritual. The family then lovingly sings the birthday song to celebrate the moment.
Abhinav gives his mother a bite of the dessert and playfully touches her chin.
The reel captures the birthday celebration in the skies. Quite adorable, right?
Comments
The post was captioned, “Surpriseeeee,” though a few users commented that the moment seemed scripted.
Still, many others praised the sweet gesture, with comments like, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTY!” flooding the post.
According to reports, the family was en route to Bali.
Though the video was recorded a few months ago, it has recently caught the attention of internet users and is now going viral with over 51,000 likes and counting.
