Screengrab from the social experiment. (Facebook/Rj Naved)
'You are because of her' - that's the title of a video going viral on Facebook. The video, a social experiment conducted by Delhi RJ Naved, shows how people react when a new dad tells them about the birth of his child. Only, there's a catch.
The video, with almost 1.8 million views in 21 hours, shows RJ Naved sharing an elevator with strangers. During the ride, he gets a phone call which tells him he's now the proud father of a little boy. Excited, he shares the news with those around him. "It's a boy, it's a boy," he exclaims. Everyone congratulates him on his big news.
Seconds later, he gets another call. This time, the news delivered to him almost immediately changes his mood from excited to upset. "Sorry, it's a girl," he says with resentment.
How do you think people react to this change in news - do they sympathise with him or give him a piece of their mind?
We'll let you watch to find out. All we'll tell you is that this is a social experiment gone right. (Viewer discretion advised. Some contents of this video may be unsuitable for children.)
