joyous celebration of fatherhood has struck a chord online, with a video capturing a new dad marking the birth of his daughter in the most spirited way.

Moments later, the camera shifts to the beaming father, who bursts into the ‘FA9LA’ step the instant he lays eyes on his baby girl, his happiness impossible to miss.“Winner Of The Trend,” read the caption as the video was shared on X.

Social media users quickly flooded the comments with praise, applauding the father’s exuberance and the emotion behind the gesture. Many described the video as a rare and beautiful expression of joy, with some calling it the “sweetest thing on the internet.” Others pointed out how uplifting it was to see a father celebrating the arrival of a daughter so openly and proudly.Actor Yami Gautam Dhar, who is married to ''Dhurandhar'' director Aditya Dhar, also reshared the video, writing, “Hands down, winner,” effectively sealing its status as a standout moment from the viral trend. Aditya Dhar joined in too, commenting, “Absolute Winner!! God Bless The Baby!!”Several viewers noted that such moments challenge long-held social attitudes and send a powerful message about celebrating daughters with equal happiness. One user summed it up perfectly: “Same BGM. Completely different emotion. Still a winner. The New born entry just became unforgettable.”Meanwhile, the song ‘FA9LA’ (pronounced Fasla) continues to dominate social media trends worldwide following the release of Dhurandhar. From Instagram Reels to YouTube Shorts, the track has become a pop-culture staple. Originally a Bahraini hip-hop number written and performed by Flipperachi and Daffy, with music composed by DJ Outlaw, ‘FA9LA’ loosely means a “fun time” or “party” in Bahraini Arabic—more a feeling or “vibe” than a direct translation.
