Kerala woman in UK reveals she is pregnant using AI video. Watch how husband reacts
Sherin Thomas told HT.com that she and her husband’s families were overjoyed after watching the video.
In a beautiful blend of technology and emotion, a woman has used an AI-generated video to announce her pregnancy by chronicling a decade-long love story with her husband. Both hailing from Kerala and now staying in Scotland, the video shows the news of their "sweetest chapter yet" through a series of nostalgic visuals depicting their growth from students to homeowners and now parents-to-be.
In an email to HT.com, Sherin Thomas recalled the moment she first found out she was pregnant, adding that she had started working on the video to surprise her partner, Jerin Puthuvana Mathew, well before the confirmation.

“We were attending a housewarming function, and I was vomiting, so I just decided to check it secretly, because I already made this pregnancy-revealing video to surprise my husband even before being pregnant.” She added, “We were so happy and grateful to God as it all happened at the right time.”
What does the video show?
It shows the couple sitting on a sofa, looking at the AI film. It starts right from their school days, through their marriage, and then when they bought their first house in the UK. It also captures them surprising each other during birthdays.
Towards the end, the woman in the AI video pulls out a pregnancy test, and Thomas does the same. Overjoyed, Mathew hugs and kisses her.

An individual commented, “Do I know you? Nope… Did I watch the full video? Yup… Did I just cry for total strangers?? Hell yeaaaaaaa. Congratulations guys. God bless.” Another expressed, “So beautiful… made me emotional as well. God bless… Always stay in love and best wishes to a new angel in life.”
