A heartwarming video of a tea seller shedding tears of joy after his daughter passed her chartered accountancy (CA) exam has touched hearts. On LinkedIn, Amita Prajapati shared her 10-year-long journey of hard work accompanied by a touching video of revealing the results to her father. In the post, Amita highlighted that she lived in a slum and how her father’s unwavering support and belief were crucial to her success.
“It took 10 years. Every day, with dreams in my eyes, I would ask myself if this was just a dream or if it would ever come true. July 11, 2024, today, it became a reality. Yes, dreams do come true," she shared.
She recounted how many people would question her father’s decision to support her education as she was a “below-average student." They had also suggested to her father that he should save money to build a house instead of spending it on her education, arguing that he couldn’t afford to educate her by selling tea.
“They used to say you can’t afford to educate her so much by selling tea, save money and build a house instead. How long will you keep living on the streets with grown-up daughters? Anyway, one day they will leave as they are someone else’s wealth, and you will have nothing left. Yes, “of course," I live in a slum (very few people know this), but now I am not ashamed," she added.
Amita mentioned that people used to call her family, “slum-dwellers, with crazy minds." To which, she agreed and wrote, “Correct, if my mind wasn’t crazy, I wouldn’t have reached here today. And now, I am capable enough to build a house for my father. I can fulfill all his wishes."
In the viral video, Amita and her father are both seen in tears as they hug each other following her CA exam success. She described the moment as “peace," sharing, “I waited a very long time for this moment, imagining this dream with open eyes, and today it is captured in reality."

She concluded her post with, “Whatever I am today is because of my Papa and Mummy who believed in me so much and never thought that one day I would leave them but instead thought that I would educate my daughters."
Amita’s emotional moment with her father struck a chord with many, eliciting a flood of heartfelt comments. One user praised, “Dedication and self belief made it possible. Hats off to you and your parents for standing by you in achieving the dreams."
Another enthusiastically expressed, “Bravo! Very inspiring. I am so happy for you, your parents and family. Wishing all of you the best. Go go Gurl, fly higher to the Moon xoxo."
Someone else added, “Way to go dear. Kudos and lots of love and all the happiness to you and your family. Proud moments indeed."
