A candid moment of pure joy has struck a chord online after a man was filmed breaking into an energetic dance to the trending FA9LA track from the film Dhurandhar while welcoming his newborn daughter. The heartwarming clip has since been shared by actor Yami Gautam, amplifying its reach and emotional impact.
Posted on X, the video unfolds in a hospital corridor where the visibly overwhelmed father celebrates the arrival of his baby with spontaneous dance moves moments after seeing her for the first time. The scene becomes even more touching when a woman carrying the infant joins him, as two hospital staff members in the background happily groove along, turning the corridor into a brief celebration.
The music playing in the background is the viral Arabic hip-hop track FA9LA, a song made popular by Akshaye Khanna’s character in a memorable dance sequence in Dhurandhar. The clip gained wider attention after Yami Gautam, who is married to the film’s director, Aditya Dhar, reposted it on her X handle.
The original video was captioned “Winner of the trend,” a sentiment echoed by Gautam, who reacted with, “Hands down, winner.”
Hands down, winner 🙏🏻❤️ https://t.co/24M9fEfbyN — Yami Gautam Dhar (@yamigautam) December 17, 2025
Viewers flooded the comments section with emotional responses. One user described the moment as “heartening to see” as the video on X showed “a lady doctor, the father, and other relatives of a newborn girl being anything but welcoming about her birth.”
Another commented, “Same BGM. Completely different emotion. Still a winner. The newborn entry just became unforgettable.”
A third simply summed it up by saying, “How beautiful is this video.”
In Dhurandhar, Akshaye Khanna’s character, Rehman Dakait, is seen stepping out of a car and dancing exuberantly to FA9LA, a moment that has since sparked countless recreations online. The song, composed by Bahrain-based rap artist Flipperachi, continues to trend as users put their own emotional spin on the now-iconic dance.
