Birthdays often bring thoughtful gifts, but one granddaughter took it a step further. Influencer Apoorva Vijaykumar used artificial intelligence (AI) to create a heartfelt surprise for her grandmother's birthday. It was a video showing her walking hand in hand with her late husband.
Videos of emotional moments shared on Instagram have become a virus for all the right reasons.
The clip begins with my grandmother sitting at the dining table as the AI-generated video plays. Her face flashes with a mix of joy and longing as she sees her stroll by her late husband.
The broad smile touched thousands of users online, following tears of love and loss.
In the caption of her video post, Apoorva shared a heartfelt message. “Happy birthday Ammu. I know it was tough living without Appupan, so I reminded him that he was still here.

The video prompted a pouring of love from social media users. “Ammu is Pooky. Her hair clips say it all,” the user said, while another said, “Screaming random strangers on Instagram has become a part of my everyday life.”
“You didn't just make her day… you made ours too,” one user said.
Others reflect the power of technology, with one user saying, “That's why they created it,” and “I've never seen a reel much.”

In one of his popular films, Irfan Khan says, “I think the whole life will eventually become an act of letting go. But the most painful thing is always the pain of saying goodbye.”
But sometimes you embrace someone you've loved for so long, hoping that you can relive and alleviate it. It brings quiet closure to longing and provides a calming sense of satisfaction.
