As shared in the video, the husband asks for some rice after finishing his food. When the wife opens the casserole, she notices that there is nothing left. So she secretly scoops up some of her rice and keeps it in the casserole and then serves the rice to her husband. While she is seen sacrificing her food for her husband, he does not even pay attention to all these. He is completely engrossed in scrolling his mobile phone.
There are so many Indian households, where scenarios like this happen very often. And the content creator glorifying her sacrifice and the ignorance of the husband is stirring up heated discussions online.

The great indian male babies who never grow up. The cringe makers who made this have inadvertently captured the reality of indian patriarchy. https://t.co/E3Ios9jJKe

When will the reverse happen? When will “Indian men” realise that they are not children who need to be given unconditional love for bare minimum things. Auratein toh humesha se sacrifice kar hi rhin hain. https://t.co/3ax8PAVndJ
