‘Mummy Daantegi’: Boy's Adorable Plea to Tiger Goes Viral; Watch the Viral Video
When a child faces a problem in India, the first thought that crosses their mind is often, ‘What will my mother say?’ This instinctive reaction brings to mind the familiar image of desi mothers and their stern reprimands. Recently, a video of a little boy’s amusing encounter with a tiger at a zoo has gone viral and has everyone laughing.
In the clip, a white tiger grabs the child’s T-shirt with its mouth. The boy desperately pleads, ‘Chor de, please, meri mummy mera chaknachur kar degi,’ expressing his fear of his mother’s reaction if she sees his shirt torn. After several unsuccessful attempts to escape, he tries to soothe the tiger, saying, “Chor de please, mumma datengi.”
Details about the location and date of the incident remain unclear. An X user, @gharkekalesh, shared the video with the caption, “Kid Starts shouting ‘Meri shirt chhod de, mummy Daantegi’ after Tiger grabbed his shirt in Zoo.”
