The video was shared by Dr Dahiya herself on Instagram, where she enjoys a growing following.

Using the attention as an opportunity to educate, Dr Dahiya also shared valuable advice for expectant mothers.

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 Her video challenges outdated norms that suggest pregnancy is a time of stillness and restriction, instead celebrating it as a time where health, confidence, and joy can coexist.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.
