He continued, “This video is a log of how happy your parents can be when you do well in life.” In a LinkedIn post, he continued, “Being able to have my parents experience it is truly humbling.”

In his posts on both social media platforms, he thanked those around him, supporting him.

The video opens with a beautiful montage of a blue BMW car. As the clip progresses, Dutta says he first saw this particular model parked on the side of the road in 2022. Excited, he captured a picture of the car.

Dutta recalls that last year he sent a picture of the car to his sister and shared that it was the vehicle he was going to purchase, and he made it a reality within a year.

Expressing his joy, Dutta’s father says, “Ye beta ne purchase kiya hai (My son purchased it).” He continues, “I am feeling happy. Now we will go for a drive.”

Dutta’s mother, smiling, says she didn’t even imagine he would buy such a car. They both share how proud they are of their son.

The video also captures other family members and friends joining Dutta in the celebrations.
