Tiruvantpuram: A heart-touching video has gone viral on social media. In a family in Nepal, a brother hugged and consoled a sister during the ritual of her first menstruation, and this moment left millions of people emotional. The video showed that the sister started crying during the emotional moment of the ceremony, and then the brother immediately hugged her and said, "Everything will be fine; you are strong."
What was special about the ceremony?
In the video, the entire family was gathered, and as per ritual, the male members paid obeisance to the sister by placing money on her feet. But the most emotional moment came when the sister had tears in her eyes. The brother, who was the youngest, immediately hugged her. That warmth and care was clearly visible on her face, which is a dream for any sister. One user said, "Having a brother like that, oh my god," while another added, "This family really raised that boy well." Seeing these comments, it seems how strong the bond between brother and sister can be.
The comments section became a sea of emotions. Thousands of women shared their stories of how their families hid or associated their first period with shame. But this video gives hope. One user wrote, "Every girl should get such a brother and family." Another said, "This family is setting the standard." Even male users wrote, "Our society should learn from this." These comments show that social media has now become a platform to break taboos. The video has garnered over 14 million views, and the sharing is showing no signs of stopping.
What can we learn from Aayusha's story?
This is not the first time that such a video has made headlines. In September, a girl named Aayusha had shared her video, in which the family celebrated her first menstruation like a festival. In the video, Aayusha was standing at the door of the house, the family was performing the ritual, and she was shedding tears of joy. The male members bowed with money at their feet, which was a sign of respect. This also went viral, and people interpreted it as a message of acceptance. Both the videos together show that society is changing—the first menstruation is not being considered a matter of shame but a celebration of growth, pride, and femininity. Traditions like Ritu Kala Sanskar of South India also do the same.
Why hope for change?
These moments are not just videos but a big shift. Users say first menstruation should no longer be hidden; it should be celebrated. They are inspiring families to give love and support to their daughters. In countries like Nepal and India, where taboos were high, these videos spread awareness. Experts say such celebrations increase girls' confidence and improve their mental health. But a lot still remains to change.
