Indian moms are well-known for expressing love to their kids through the food they cook - it could be extra ghee on your roti, rajma chawal on your birthday or forcing you to eat paranthas while on diet, as seen in a viral video on Instagram. In the reel shared by @stylishpreetattireuk, the video shows her Punjabi mom cooking parathas in the kitchen. The two are in the middle of a hilarious fight over paranthas - the daughter says she won't eat any as she would "become fat", while the adorable Punjabi mom forces her to eat them anyway.
The internet is in love with the video, especially with the mom's dialogue "Shut up prontha kha," as highlighted in the text of the video. In the end, the mom breaks a morsel and feeds it to her daughter.
"Prontha jabrasti," read the caption of the post.
The viral video has clocked more than 5 million views. Take a look at the comments section:
