Man returns from Mumbai at 3 am, desi mum puts him to work cleaning fan and fixing curtains
A viral video captured a son returning from Mumbai at 3 am and his mum making him clean the fan and fix the curtains first thing in the morning.
Desi households often come with their own mix of humour and strictness, especially for the youngest sibling. A video trending online shows just how the youngest child can be put to work, even after returning home from a long journey.
The younger sibling had travelled late at night from Mumbai and expected some rest, but was instead asked to do household chores first thing in the morning.
The video shows him standing on a table, hanging curtains, and cleaning a ceiling fan, while the elder sibling films the amusing moment.
The video was shared on Instagram by Nishaant Gahlot with the caption, “My brother travelled from Mumbai not for his work break but for this, I guess, Maa ending with her Jaat Mode dialog.”
