One person wrote, “Shame on her mother and brother. They have no right to misbehave with her; she was just talking to her boyfriend and did nothing wrong. Also, the way ‘jits’ are criticizing this girl needs to be studied separately.” The authenticity of this video has not been independently verified.
How did the fight start?
The viral clip begins with the girl’s brother, who, while recording the scene, questions his sister about wearing earphones. He asks, “What are you doing with the leads in your ears?”
Within moments, the mother slaps the girl, leading to a heated argument in the room. The daughter looks upset and repeatedly says that she was studying.
“I was reading,” she says several times, pointing to her books.
According to the mother, she had returned home some time ago and was calling her daughter, but the girl could not hear because of the earphones.
The mother says, “That’s why I’m saying you can’t hear anything,” and tries to remove the earphones from her daughter’s ears.
Daughter’s claim – she was reading with headphones on
The daughter keeps defending herself throughout the argument. At one point she says, “Hey, I was reading, look at this, I was reading.”
After this the brother questions why she was using earphones while studying. Responding to this, the girl says, “I was studying with headphones in my ears, how else could I study?” As the argument intensifies, the daughter angrily throws her book on the wall and says, “Hey, I was reading, you are spoiling my mind with meaningless things.” Later the fight turns towards household chores. The mother blames her daughter for not cooking when she was not home. In response the daughter says, “Do your own work.” On this the mother raises questions about her married life and says, “What will happen to you in your in-laws?” The daughter’s reply immediately catches everyone’s attention online. She replies, “Whatever is happening to you will happen to me.” At one point in the clip, the mother also asks her son, who is recording the video, “Couldn’t you have told me to make vegetables?”
