Birthdays in desi households often come with unexpected entertainment, and this one turned into a full-blown comedy moment. A family video has surfaced online that shows a father stepping into his teenage son’s personal space as he reads out shayari from a birthday card he received.
The clip has left the Internet laughing out loud. It was captured on camera by the boy’s sister, who later shared it on Instagram. The handmade card with dramatic love shayari didn’t feel like a regular birthday wish. The tone and choice of words hinted that the card may have been from his girlfriend.
Father Reads Romantic Shayari From Teen Son’s Birthday Card
The video opens with the sister saying, “Guys, ye mere bhai ko birthday par card mila hai aur papa uski privacy
invade karte hue. Padhiye papa (Guys, my brother received a birthday card and dad is invading his privacy. Go on, dad, read it).”
The father then starts reading the card aloud: “Dekh kar aapki muskurahat, hum hosh gawa baithe…Hum hosh mein aane wale hi the kea ap fir muskura baithe…Gulab jaise ho, gulab lagte ho…zara muskura diya karo, lajawab lagte ho.”
“A very happy 16th birthday to my lifeline,” he adds.
The overlay text on the video reads: “There’s no privacy in desi families.”
‘Bhai Toh Gaya’: Internet Has A Field Day
Since being shared, the clip has racked up nearly six million views. Social media users had a blast with the clip and turned the moment into pure desi family humour.
One user joked, “Fielding set hai bhai ka (The brother is completely gone now),” while another wrote, “Papa be like ye toh mere se bhi aage nikal gaya (Dad is thinking the son has gone way ahead of him).”
A particularly relatable comment read, “Maut aa jaye par aisi situation na aaye (I’d rather face death than be in such a situation).”
“OMG! Ye ladka 16 ka hai toh ladki kitne ki hai? Main 20 ki hoke single hoon (If the boy is 16, how old is the girl? I’m 20 and still single),” someone else remarked.
“Hamare papa hote toh ab tak hum narak mein hote (If it were my dad, I’d already be in hell),” a viewer commented.
“Bhai ki privacy ki dhajiyan uda di (The father completely destroyed the brother’s privacy),” an individual humorously said.
“Mere papa bol rahe hai AI hai (My father is saying that this is AI),” “Ab tak to rifle chal gai hoti (My father would’ve fired a gun by now),” “Such parents are needed in the current society”, and “This is hilarious” were some other reactions.
Amid the laughs, a few users pointed out that the sister missed one crucial detail. Many wished the camera had also captured the birthday boy’s reaction to the entire episode.
