At a time when parenting is often reduced to advice reels and quick fixes, one video quietly reminded people what real support actually looks like. An Influencer named Anish Bhagat shared a deeply touching
clip on Instagram, allowing a glimpse into how his parents stood by him when he needed them the most.
The video is not about his parents’ grand speeches and dramatic moments. Instead, it shows something far more powerful, the kind of parents who showed up. They visit the son’s home, spend time with him, father to the gym together while the mother cooks his favourite biryani. Not just that, the family sat with each other, stayed present and through these everyday gestures, they created a space where their son did not have to pretend to be okay.
Alongside the video, Anish wrote words that resonated widely. “I wish more parents were like this: Thank you, Mom and Dad. This is the sweetest thing you’ve done for me.” As for his intent behind sharing the video, he added, “This is not me being brave or inspirational. This is what support actually looked like.”
Further in the clip, Anish also opens up about why this support mattered so deeply. He shared that he has been going through a difficult phase mentally, where even getting out of bed felt hard. In his words, “I’ve been dealing with a lot lately to the point where getting out of bed felt hard. I’m learning to take it one step at a time. I’m learning to be kinder to myself.”
Parents’ Honest Confessions
What is especially moving in the video is the honesty of his parents. They admit they may not fully understand what he is feeling, yet they choose to stand by him, check in on him, stay involved and even take the initiative to book appointments with his therapist to ensure he feels supported and safe. Toward the end of the clip, his father says, “We might not understand everything you are going through, we are not going anywhere.”
Lots Of Applause For Parenting
The moment struck a powerful chord online. Viewers praised not just Anish but the parenting approach. One comment read, “Anish Beta, your strength is truly inspiring. Your remarkable talent and heart of gold make you shine brighter with each post! Your parents have done an incredible job. Everyone here adores you and eagerly awaits your next posts. Keep sparkling! Sending you love and positive vibes. With love.”
Others echoed similar feelings. “You guys are doing such a beautiful job!” said one user whereas another added, “Anish is blessed beyond anything he can imagine. I can only pray to be that kind of parent to my children.”
An individual said, “Healing starts at home. Kudos to the parents for creating such a safe space for their son.”
The video is a gentle reminder that one does not need to fully understand everything a person is going through. Instead, just stay with them and try supporting them in whatever ways possible.
