A video featuring Dr Sonam Dahiya, a medical professional and soon-to-be mother of twins, has taken the internet by storm for all the right reasons. The viral clip, which shows her energetically dancing alongside popular choreographer Aadil Khan, has struck a powerful chord with viewers — not only for its infectious energy but for its deeper message on breaking stereotypes related to pregnancy, fitness, and personal autonomy.
The video was shared by Dr Dahiya herself on Instagram, where she enjoys a growing following. She captioned the video with heartfelt gratitude for the experience, calling it a “dream come true.” As the clip gained traction, many applauded her confidence and spirit, while others expressed outdated concerns and criticism about her dancing while pregnant.
Addressing the feedback in a powerful message, Dr Dahiya responded with poise and clarity, saying, “Exercise is a personal journey, and what I wear while exercising is my choice — one that makes me feel comfortable and empowered in my own skin.”
Her words resonated widely, sparking supportive comments from both medical professionals and everyday viewers who praised her for promoting body positivity and self-confidence during pregnancy.
One user commented, “Baby is definitely going to be a dancer.”
Another beamed with appreciation and awe and said “This is LEGENDARY stuff. Ma’am you are a LEGEND”.
Using the attention as an opportunity to educate, Dr Dahiya also shared valuable advice for expectant mothers. Drawing from her medical background, she clarified that physical activity during a normal, healthy pregnancy is not only safe but often beneficial. She explained that concerns about exercise increasing the risk of miscarriage, low birth weight, or preterm delivery are largely misconceptions.
However, she was careful to advise that all expectant mothers should first consult with their doctors to determine the safety of specific physical activities during pregnancy.
Beyond just a viral moment, Dr Dahiya's performance and message have sparked important conversations about the autonomy of pregnant women, societal expectations, and the need for a more supportive and understanding community. Her video challenges outdated norms that suggest pregnancy is a time of stillness and restriction, instead celebrating it as a time where health, confidence, and joy can coexist.
In her final note on the post, Dr Dahiya emphasised the importance of personal freedom and empathy. “We all have the autonomy to make decisions about ourselves — whether that’s what we wear or how we manage our health during pregnancy. Your body, your choice,” she wrote. She encouraged her followers to build a more compassionate society, adding, “Kindness and understanding are far more powerful than criticism.”
With a vibrant dance and an empowering message, Dr Sonam Dahiya isn’t just going viral — she’s reshaping the conversation around motherhood, health, and choice.
