Chennai man shows parents his new home for the first time, their reaction says it all
A Chennai man shared a heartfelt video of his parent's reaction to seeing his new home for the very first time, which won hearts all around social media.

A Chennai man shared a video of an emotional milestone he achieved as he showed his parents the home he bought for the very first time.
The video was shared on X by Kirubakaran Rajendran, who described the experience in a wholesome caption: “That priceless moment when my parents saw the home for the first time. No amount of property vs mutual fund excel calculation can beat this ROI.” He added that buying a home was an emotional decision for him, writing, “Buying a home is an emotional decision. I am glad that I decided to withdraw my profits and made this purchase.”
In the video, Rajendran’s parents are seen entering the house for the first time, slowly taking in the space with visible pride and excitement. As they walk around the living room and interiors, their facial expressions shift between disbelief, joy, and contentment.
At several moments, they pause to look at their son, almost as if they are trying to absorb the reality of what he has achieved, before continuing to explore the home.
Toward the end of the clip, the moment peaks emotionally as his parents hug him tightly and give an enthusiastic thumbs-up, clearly approving of both the house and the decision behind it.
