A hilarious video of a young boy’s dramatic encounter with a white tiger at a zoo has gone viral, leaving the Internet in splits. The clip captures the tiger grabbing the boy’s T-shirt with its jaws, prompting an adorably desi reaction.

Instead of panicking, the boy pleads, “Chor de, please, meri mummy mera chaknachur kar degi” (Please spare me, my mom will thrash me if my T-shirt tears). When he fails to break free, he switches tactics, gently coaxing the tiger with “Chor de please, mumma daantegi” (Leave me, my mother will scold me).

The location and date of the incident remain unknown, but the video, shared by X handle @gharkekalesh, has amassed over two million views. Viewers found the child’s reaction priceless, with one user commenting, “Even when a tiger grabs his shirt, his biggest fear is his mom’s reaction!” Another quipped, “This proves kids fear their moms more than tigers.”
