Desi dads are known for keeping a close eye on money, especially when it comes to their children’s spending. Every small amount matters, and every entry in a bank statement raises questions. From hostel fees to daily expenses, nothing escapes their notice.
That habit has now struck a chord online, as a funny video shows a father carefully checking his daughter’s bank statement and trying to make sense of some daily transactions that don’t quite add up for him.
Dad Tries to Make Sense of Daily Rs 18 Payments
The viral clip opens with a dad sitting beside his daughter, laptop open, clearly confused and concerned. As he scans the bank statement, he starts questioning her about one particular name and a repeated charge. He asks, “Ye Ram Sharma kaun
hai? Roz 18 rupaye deti ho usko tum? Kya EMI baandh rakhi hai, kya 18 rupaye ki EMI hoti hai? Kaun sa loan liya tumne isse jo roz 18 rupaye dete ho?”
Which roughly translates to – “Who is this Ram Sharma? Do you give him Rs 18 every day? Have you taken some EMI? Is there even an EMI of Rs 18? What loan have you taken from him that you pay him daily?”
Dad Tries To Crack The Mystery
The daughter looks nervous and slightly guilty as her father keeps asking questions. She avoids eye contact, clearly unsure how to explain the situation. The dad, on the other hand, appears genuinely puzzled and is trying hard to understand why small amounts of money are being sent daily to the same person.
The caption of the video reads, “Who’s gonna tell him”, while the text on the clip says, “You innocent dad is going through your bank statement.” The video was shared on September 30 and has crossed over 8 million views so far.

As expected, the comment section exploded with jokes and explanations. A user wrote, “Non-smokers in the comments wondering what this is.”
Another commented, “I thought panipuri wale bhaiya … n comments sec told me m wrong .. damn old.”
“For those who don’t know, 18 is the running price of Gold Flake right now,” a person explained. Others joined in with jokes like, “Gold lia tha isse papa…badi gold,” and “I did not understand the reel till I opened comments. Man, I am old.”
Some kept it short and funny, saying “only emi i can afford”, while another added, “Esse Light.” One user summed it up perfectly with, “the fact that i didnt understand says a lot!”
