By the time midweek rolls around, energy levels are usually running low, and any break from routine feels like a relief. A short clip making the rounds online offered exactly that—a light, unexpected moment
many didn’t even realise they needed.
That pause came from a post shared by Harsh Goenka, Chairman of RPG Enterprises, who is often known for posting sharp observations, light humour and thoughtful takes on everyday moments. This time, he shared a short clip that looked like a news segment but unfolded in a way no one could have expected.
The Sketch That No One Saw Coming
The video opens like a standard television news report. Two anchors appear on screen who discuss a case of a missing father. The report explains that the police are trying to trace the man and have used a sketch provided by his young daughter to help identify him.
Instead of a detailed drawing, the image appears to be a child’s simple artwork. It shows a stick figure with round dots for eyes, a smiling face and scribbled lines on either side of the head for the hair. One word is written clearly on it: “DAD.”
At this stage, the sketch feels like a child’s honest view of the world. The real twist comes when the anchors reveal the photograph of the missing father. He is bald on top with hair on the sides. Suddenly, the drawing starts to make sense, and the resemblance catches everyone by surprise.
The anchors, who had maintained their composure until then, visibly struggle to control their laughter.
Sharing the video on X (formerly Twitter), Harsh Goenka wrote: “A little girl’s father had gone missing. The girl drew a sketch of her father for the police. And as soon as the police found the man, seeing his actual photograph made the news anchors burst out laughing.”

How Viewers Reacted Online
Since it was shared online, the video has crossed more than two million views and drawn a wide range of reactions.
One user commented, “She is destined to become a sketch artist.”
Another said, “I hope they find him! The little girl needs her father back.”
“Kids are the most honest artists no filters, no Photoshop, only pure reality check,” someone else remarked while a person added, “At first, I thought the little girl’s drawing was abstract. Until later… yes, her drawing was very realistic.”
“Thank you that’s the first laugh I’ve had in a long time,” a viewer expressed.
An individual wrote, “The male anchor fought his inner self to remain demure. Give it up for the daughter, she’s a great artist. A well detailed diagram.”
“This skit will never not be funny,” “That’s hilarious,” “And that’s how the little girl’s career as an artist started” and “Kids are talented comedians,” were some other remarks.
It Is AI-Generated
While the video has certainly cracked people up, it’s important to note that it isn’t real. As the clip continued to circulate, some viewers began questioning its authenticity, after which chatbot Grok clarified that the video appears to be AI-generated.
Yes, the video seems to be AI-generated. Multiple sources, including Instagram reels and Reddit discussions from December 2025, describe it as a parody mimicking a news segment for humor. No evidence of it being a real event.
