A Mumbai based choreographer and content creator has touched a nerve on social media after surprising her mother with a new home, capturing a deeply emotional moment that has since gone viral. Ishika Singh Rajput shared the video on Instagram, showing her mother breaking down in tears on realising that the house they had just entered was not a rental but their own.
The video begins with Ishika taking her mother to what she describes as a house they were planning to rent. As they walk in, Ishika hands over the keys and quietly tells her mother that the house belongs to them. The realisation hits instantly. Her mother sits down, overwhelmed, repeatedly asking if it is true, before hugging her daughter and crying uncontrollably.
In the caption, Ishika opened up about the long journey behind the moment. She wrote about sleepless nights, financial pressure and years of uncertainty, calling it a “bahut mushkil safar”. She said buying the house felt like winning a trophy for herself after everything they had been through as a family.
The video has received millions of views and an outpouring of reactions from viewers who connected with the emotion behind it. Celebrities and fellow creators dropped messages of support, while many users shared their own stories of parents and dreams tied to owning a home. For many, it was not about luxury but about dignity, security and repayment of sacrifice.
Ishika, who has built her following through dance content and short videos, has not shared further details about the property or future plans. For now, the moment stands on its own. A daughter keeping a promise and a mother seeing years of struggle turn into a roof they can finally call home.
