Bengali mother seen scolding a monkey for eating soap.
The video, which has gone viral on the internet, shows a Bengali mother scolding a monkey for eating soap and then offering a potato. This has made everyone giggle on the internet and garnered massive attention. The clip, shared by digital creator Pritam on Instagram, has struck a chord with netizens for its sheer humour and warmth. The video is captioned with the line “Maa is always maa (a mother is always a mother)”, capturing a moment that is equal parts funny and deeply endearing.
More on the viral moment of a monkey and a Bengali mother.
The video begins with a monkey casually attempting to eat what appears to be a bar of soap, clearly mistaking it for food. As the situation unfolds, a man in the background can be heard pointing it out, saying, “Bro, that’s soap.” But before things can go further, a woman steps in, armed not with panic, but with pure maternal instinct. Holding a potato in her hand, she is seen approaching the monkey and begins gently scolding it, much like how a mother would reprimand a child for doing something foolish. After a brief standoff, the monkey finally takes the potato from her hand and discards the soap, much to the amusement of those watching. A few moments later, it scurries away, and the woman bids it a casual goodbye.
