A 52-year-old man from Mumbai has earned his MBA, marking a proud milestone in his academic journey. To celebrate this, his son organised a surprise party with a humorous theme that has now gone viral on the internet.
In the video, the man enters his home to find a room full of people wearing masks of his own face along with a master’s cap. The playful scene was made even more memorable with colourful sticky notes placed on the walls. Each note carried short and heartfelt messages of love and encouragement for the father.
At first, he appears stunned by the unusual sight. His expression soon changes to laughter and joy as he reads the letters with friends and family cheering him on.
The celebration gained attention online after user Maitreya Sathe shared the video on Instagram. Sathe posted the photo with the caption “graduATE.” The clip also carried the on-screen text, “pov: Your dad got an MBA at 52, so you throw a surprise graduation party for him, but the theme was him!”
The light-hearted idea and the father’s proud moment have touched many social media users. One person commented, “This one is adorable. Uncle, congrats. I feel ecstatic because my mom also earned her master’s degree at 50!” Another user wrote, “And now, at the age of 35, I am dragging myself to complete my EX MBA. I urgently need Uncle Ji to give me some motivation.”
The video continues to circulate widely, drawing smiles and appreciation for both the father and the son.
