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.
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. Watch the video to see how he plans to undo his mistake.
