A video of an incident on a college campus is circulating widely on social media. In it, a father is seen folding his hands before his daughter and touching her hands and feet, but she was not willing to listen to him. Some scenes in the video have drawn attention and prompted a range of reactions.

The incident is said to have taken place on the premises of a college. In the video, the elderly father initially tries to reason with his daughter. When he felt she was holding firm and not listening, he began touching her hands and feet. Pleading with her to save the family's honour, he asks her to give up her boyfriend. The daughter, however, paid no heed to her father's feelings and chose her boyfriend.

Some people present recorded it on their mobile phones and put the video on social media. It has been shared on Instagram from an account named @foofaji. Many people have been moved by the father's helplessness and the expression on his face, and the video is being widely discussed.

Such cases are not rare. In some parts of the country, love marriages still do not get family approval, leading to conflict between children and parents. Often, when children have to choose between love and their parents, they choose love, and the distance in the relationship begins there.

Many users have shared their views in the comments section. Netizens expressed anger at the daughter's behaviour and sympathy for the parents' pain. One user wrote, "She has made her parents cry, and her karma will come back to her." Another wrote, "I think this is a staged act being performed for a college class." Another asked, "Instead of all this nonsense, why doesn't the father happily get his daughter married?"

The video has set off an online debate on personal choices, family ties and the relationship between parents and children. The account is based on a post and video shared on social media.
