Our soldiers, deployed day and night to protect the nation, have to make significant compromises with their personal lives. A prime example of this is an Indian soldier who, while performing his duties on the border, even forgot his own birthday. The responsibility of his duty was so overwhelming that he didn't even remember that today was the most special day of his life.

His daughter called him at midnight to wish him a happy birthday, surprising him and asking, "Hey, is it my birthday today?" A video has been posted on the page of X (formerly Twitter) handle, from an account named "Maithili." The video shows a man talking to his daughter on a video call. He is wearing an Indian Army uniform and works in the Indian Army. During the video call, his daughter wishes him a happy birthday. The man was surprised to hear this.

When the girl confirmed, he blushed with embarrassment. He then smiled and thanked his daughter. The video filled a group of netizens with love. One netizen wrote, "It's so nice to see this cute video of a father and daughter. Perhaps he forgot his birthday due to work pressure. Happy birthday."
