Desi moms are a different breed altogether. And that’s the most endearing quality about them. They are spice wizards, come up with the best jugaad and of course, wouldn’t trade hard work for anything. Their resourcefulness and money-saving hacks are no less than business management lessons. So, when Indian-American content creator Tushita Hariharan decided to prank her desi mom, she had to come up with what hits the most — pre-peeled fruits. Here’s what happened.
Content Creator Plays Prank On Indian Mom
In honour of her mother’s birthday, Tushita Hariharan shared a throwback video of a prank she played on her Indian mom. She removed the peels of two bananas, packed them in a small box, wrapped them in cellophane and put them in a shopping bag. Her prank? Telling her mother she paid for pre-peeled bananas.
“Look what I got from Whole Foods!” said the content creator to her mother, as her little toddler looked equally curious. As she proudly showed the pre-peeled bananas, her mom looked dumbfounded. “What’s the big deal with this?” she asked. Tushita’s husband joked in the background about Jeff Bezos coming up with innovative ways to make more money.
Claims She Bought Pre-Peeled Bananas From Store; Netizens React
The content creator justified the wacky purchase by telling her desi mom that she can directly add the pre-peeled bananas into her smoothie. That’s when hell broke loose in the household. “Tushita, how long does it take to peel bananas?” roared her mom. She answered that she was saving 2 minutes of her life (per banana) with this purchase.
In the most desi style, her mother empathised with her son-in-law for marrying her daughter. “Look at the work they have done for you,” was another reason given. At this time, her mom had had enough, and her baby had a lot to say, too. Let’s just say this prank is probably every desi mom’s worst nightmare.
