In a wholesome video that is going viral on social media, a group of girls living in a PG celebrated their cook’s birthday — even though she didn’t remember when her birthday actually is. The girls decided
to pick a random day and turn it into something special, creating a memory she would cherish forever.The video was shared on Instagram by an account identified as @dayswithpriyakhi. In the clip, the girls can be seen waiting for their cook to enter a room decorated for the celebration, with a birthday cake ready. As soon as she walks in, the girls sing “Happy Birthday” in unison. The cook’s smile — and the happy tears welling up in her eyes — show how overwhelmed she is by this special moment dedicated entirely to her.The video’s caption gave more details. It read, “She’s our PG cook, the one who fills our plates with love every single day. She doesn’t even know when her birthday is… so we decided to make one for her. A random day turned into the sweetest celebration of love, gratitude, and togetherness. From decorating the PG to planning every little thing — it was all worth it just to see her smile. Because some people don’t need a date to be celebrated — they just deserve it.”
In the comments section, another account identified as @priyakhi_knwr described the situation further. She wrote, “Thank you so much, everyone, for showing so much love. I never posted this video to gain views — I just wanted to collect memories, like I always do. Two days before this, I randomly asked her when her birthday is, and she replied that she doesn’t know. She told me she has never celebrated her birthday in her entire life because she doesn’t even know her date of birth… and she also can’t read.”She added, “That’s when I shared the idea of celebrating her birthday — on a completely random day — with everyone in our PG group, and all the girls instantly agreed. We contributed ₹50 each and arranged customised decorations, a cake, and some thoughtful gifts — a suit set, a sweater, a pair of warm socks, and a handbag. We even told our PG owner aunty about it, and she was so sweet — she wanted to contribute too, but we told her we had already managed everything. So instead, she brought us jalebis to make the celebration even sweeter.”She concluded, “So yes, it’s not her real birthday — we just made one for her. Because everyone deserves to be celebrated at least once in their life.”The video has since gone viral and garnered emotional reactions online. It has received over 2 lakh likes, more than 3,000 comments, and over 2 million views, leaving the internet in happy tears.
