Father angrily kicks and punches his son before being told it was all a joke
He thought it was just a bit of fun and expected it to end in smiles.
But Delhi student Prateek Verma got much more than he bargained for when he told his dad his girlfriend was pregnant — and filmed it.
Sunder Verma reacted angrily, punching, kicking and slapping his clearly shocked son.
But he wasn't shocked enough to stop him uploading the clip to YouTube, via his SocioCatastropheTV account.
Prateek starts by explaining the prank to his audience as he waits for his father to come home.
When Sunder comes home, Prateek tells his dad he needs to talk.
The pair sit down, Sunder clearly concerned about what his son has to say.
With his father now lying down, Prateek drops the bomb.
His father takes a few seconds to digest the information, before lashing out at his son with a kick.
He then gets up and immediately starts swinging punches, as Prateek cowers.
More kicks are unleashed...
...then more punches...
... and then two hard slaps. Sunder is clearly livid.
As he picks up a nearby bottle and prepares to use it, Prateek reveals it is all just a prank.
He moves in and tries to hug his father to say sorry...
...before gesturing to the camera to cut as he dad storms off.
More than 1.1 million people have watched the video on YouTube.

Hear hear. In my fantasy world, “intentional infliction of emotional distress” would once again be a crime. The kind of prank that frightens you or makes you angry or worried or sad could land you in jail.
I’m ok with the “WTF?” class of pranks. That was Candid Camera’s speciality. A guy drives into a gas station in a tiny foreign sports car with a secret 100-gallon tank, a guy calmly asks for your help in getting him out of a mailbox, that kind of thing.
Ha, if Fred Phelps never got charged for it, then I’d say it doesn’t exist.
Thanks for posting the after interview of the questions from viewers. The son is a cutie and I like the way he laughs. I think they love each other a lot. The dad getting so angry and emotional tells me that as well as how they acted in the after interview. No, not a good prank to do on his dad, but I think they’ll survive and now the son knows he definitely better not be getting a girl pregnant outside of wedlock...lol!
You should have seen the look on my mom’s face when I pranked her by tell her I had AIDS. Priceless! /s

Not funny at all. As a note, his dad swings like a girl.
