9 Hilarious Things You’ll Understand Only If You’ve Grown Up With Punjabi Parents

Bollywood has created a certain idea of the typical Punjabi family that is loud, dramatic and very dildaar. However, none of it is true because Punjabi peeps are actually way crazier than that.

And if you’ve grown up with Punjabi parents, you already know it. Their love and anger looks all the same and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Here are things you’ll relate to only if you grew up with Punjabi folks:

1. ‘Kutta’, ‘nikamma’ and ‘khotta’ are just some of the things your parents refer to you as lovingly.

2. If your mom doesn’t put at least one big teaspoon of ghee in your daal and sabzi you’re probably adopted.

3. You get threatened with maar with a chhittar at least a couple of times in the day.

4. Whenever you ask your mum what’s there to eat, the answer is always going to be ‘mere sir’.

5. When you’d mess up real bad, mom would only utter three words that would send shivers down your spine: papa nu dassa?

6. Having relatives over meant saying bye to them and then eventually watching your parents talk to them for half an hour at the door.

7. The fashionista in you was killed by your dad saying, ‘fashion show te nahi jaana. Theek kapde paa ke aao.’

8. The moment your parents see you picking up your phone, they blame all your life problems on it and end it with a ‘aag lagaa de aenu.’

9. Your parents can really roast you and put you in an existential crisis but then they will refer to you as their ‘sona puttar’ and you’ll feel better again.
