Screengrab taken from video posted on Facebook by Ariel India
A new ad that questions gender roles being passed around from one generation to the other is winning hearts on social media. Since being posted on February 19, the ad has received over 2.6 million views on Facebook.
The video shows a man visiting his daughter at her house. He notices her juggling chores and fixing tea for her husband while making an important work call. Her mad dash begins the moment she walks in after work, though her husband is seen watching TV while working on his laptop. Watching his little girl do so much, the man realizes a mistake he made and writes out an apology.
"Sorry
ki yeh sab tumhe akele karna padta hai. Sorry
ki jab tum ghar ghar khelti thi toh maine tumhe roka nahi. Yeh nahi kaha ki yeh sirf tumhara kaam nahi, tumhare husband
ka bhi hai.Aur kehta bhi kaise? Maine bhi toh kabhi tumhari mummy
ki help
nahi ki. Aur tumne jo dekha seekha," he tells her.
He apologizes to her not only as her dad, but also on behalf of her husband who probably grew up watching something similar in his household. "
Har uss dad
ki taraf se sorry
jisne kai kai saalon se galat example set
kiya hai," he says.
He ends his letter with a promise to his daughter. We'll let you watch the video to see how he plans to undo his mistake.
Start your Monday on a positive note. Take a look at the video below:
