Son videobombs father's live-interview with Al Jazeera, video goes viral
What's the story
The balance between work life and the private one is tough to maintain. Especially when you have kids. For a stress-free life, it is often said to keep your personal life separate from work. But try saying that to this Pakistani man who couldn't stop his child from videobombing his live interview with Al Jazeera. And, he didn't look happy about it.

Son misinterprets father's 'leave' gesture, comes in front of camera
Last week, a Twitter user posted a video-clip from Al Jazeera's live interview with an expert, Zafar Jaspal. In the video, it is seen that after Jaspal notices his son peeking from behind, he moves his hand slightly, asking him to go out of the frame. However, the child misinterprets Jaspal's 'subtle' gestures and walks towards him, only to be asked to leave again.

Reactions
Twitterati loved Jaspal's reactions, called it a father's universal face
As expected, the video went viral in no time. The hilarious father-son scene garnered over 1,000 likes and retweets. Many netizens related to the video as one wrote, "That is the universal face a father makes when their son causes trouble in public," referring to Jaspal's straight face in the video clip. While others jokingly worried about the kid. Well, he's surely grounded.
'BBC Dad'
Previously, another dad got videobombed by his kids during interview
The incident reminds us of a BBC interview with Professor Robert E Kelly, which happened last year. Like Jaspal, Kelly, in a live interview, was disrupted after his two toddler kids barged into the room. He couldn't help but smile at the moment. It turned out to be one of the funniest videos of 2017 and Kelly was dubbed as the 'BBC Dad'.
Little devils
Children may cause disruptions, but they also bring fun
This gives us a sense of familiarity about how family comedy is the same everywhere. The expressions on the faces of Jaspal and Kelly are almost similar to our desi parents' when they say, 'Abhi bade baat kar rahe hai.' Yes, children, particularly when they're young, cause disruptions at work. But, then who else will bring fun to your work?
