Viral clip shows elderly couple dancing like no one's watching; melts hearts online
Not all love stories make it to the internet but when they do, some just steal your heart. That's exactly what happened with an elderly couple whose tender dance under a setting sun has left social media swooning.
The video, which quickly went viral, captures a beautiful moment: a group of friends singing Atif Aslam 's romantic hit Hona Tha Pyar from the film Bol, while an older couple slowly joins in, dancing with such ease and affection that it instantly struck a chord with viewers.
The clip was shared on Instagram by singer Aditya Chauhan, who was part of the impromptu jam session. As his group sang, someone began filming–and thankfully so, because what followed was pure magic. The couple didn't say a word. Their dance was soft, effortless, and so full of love that even strangers paused to watch.
It wasn't long before the video hit over 9 million views. 'I hope if love finds me, it's like this,' reads the text over the video–a sentiment echoed in the flood of comments that followed.

Beauty brand Nykaa chimed in with, 'Single or not, they made everyone blush.' Another user shared, 'I met them once in Delhi Metro, they were seriously so much into each other. I really wish this generation can take inspiration from them.'
One of the comments appeared to be from their grandchild: 'The couple at the back are my maternal grandparents… BTW I wasn't knowing that you both are so good at dancing… love you both,' the post said.
Another summed up the mood perfectly: 'Feeling safer is just a chill beyond comfort. Love reflects. Just like how it felt a smile on our own cheeks watching this.'
In another recent incident, a couple who met during the 1960s proved that true love not only endures–it celebrates, even after decades. Harshad, a Jain, met Mrudu, a Brahmin girl, in school and they fell for each other at a time when love marriages were almost unheard of. When Mrudu's family disapproved, they eloped. Now, 64 years later, their family decided to give them something they never had –a wedding celebration worthy of their journey.
