Doda, June 16: A simple act of care between two siblings in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district has captured widespread attention on social media after a video showed a young girl using her hijab to shield her younger brother from the rain while the two walked home.
The clip, featuring Amaira and her younger brother Abu Bakr from Seel village, has been widely shared online, with many viewers praising the moment as an example of sibling affection and compassion.
Speaking to Rising Kashmir, Amaira said she covered her brother because he was her younger sibling.
“He is my brother. I like him,” she said, adding that caring for her brother was something she had learnt at home.
Abu Bakr, who studies in nursery, said he loved his sister “very much,” while their elder brother, Abuzar, also spoke about the affection the siblings share.
Their father, Aaqib, said he was initially alarmed when he first received the video from a teacher.
“I got scared when I saw the video for the first time. I thought something had happened to my daughter,” he told Rising Kashmir.
Aaqib said he later learnt that the video had simply captured his daughter protecting her younger brother from the rain while returning home.
“After that, I was very happy. People started calling and congratulating us,” he said.
He said children often reflect the values they learn at home and that parents have a key role in shaping their upbringing and behaviour.
The video continues to circulate on social media, with many users sharing the clip of the young girl shielding her brother from the rain. For the family, however, it remains a simple act of care between two siblings on their way home.
