Without hesitation, the mother replied that she loved the girls’ father more, instantly shifting the tone of the exchange and drawing laughter for her blunt honesty and comic timing. The moment has been widely shared as an example of familiar Indian family dynamics, where parents often deflect such questions with humour.
