Pranking your parents is something we all do at some point. But Rege from the United Kingdom recently pranked his Punjabi dad in a way nobody would have imagined. He apparently made a roti and gave it the shape of his hand. He cooked it on both sides on a tawa, poured some ghee on it and then served the roti (chapati) to his dad on a plate while saying, “Thappar Khana”.
His dad, who was surprised to see the hand-shaped roti at first, smiled at the creativity. Rege’s mother, however, could be seen laughing in the background while cooking in the kitchen. Rege also wrote, “How to get disowned by your Punjabi dad” as a text on the video. He also joked that he may have taken “thappar khana” a bit too literally. The video uploaded by Rege (@badandbhajiii) went viral on social media.
