#FathersDaySpecial: 14 Typical Things That Every Indian Dad Says!

When you grow up in an Indian household, there are certain dialogues that are repeated through the generations. No matter where you come from, or how your family equations are, these quotes are something every typical Indian dad says! So this Father’s Day we decided that we’ll bring back the nostalgic dialogues and awesome one-liners that our desi Indian dads say that we have grown up listening to!

Here Are Some Typical Things That Every Indian Dad Says And You Have Heard It A Million Times:

1. Hum Jab Tumhari Umar Ke The…

Haven’t we all heard this one? From sharing his childhood anecdotes, to taunting it with this dialogue, we have heard it a million times!

2. Humare Zamane Ki Toh Baat Hi Kuch Aur Thi!!

From walking 15 kilometers to school to buying things in 50 paisa, Indian dads have surely used this one-liner one too many times, hasn’t it?

3. Aage Kya Socha Hai?

The line we all feared! “Aage kya socha hai..? Engineering ya Commerce?” We simply cannot unhear the tone at

4. Keh Diya Na Bas Keh Diya!

Be it going to play, or asking permission for sleepovers, we have all been in that situation where dad makes the final call of ‘yes’ or ‘no’!

5. Isi Din Ke Liye Paal Pos Ke Bada Kiya Tha Tumhe?

Who says only moms can be melodramatic? Indian dads also have that emotional dramatic side to them that they occasionally unleash on us.

6. Ye Dost Nahi Aaenge Exam Dene

This is yet another typical Indian dad line that states that all your friends are basically useless – rather losers!

#FathersDay: 6 Types Of Indian Dads We Have All Seen Growing Up

7. Government Job Ki Tayari Kar Lo. Kya Rakha Hai Private Job Me?

The thought behind – it is best to get a government job is basically a generation thing! The common belief and understanding that a government job comes with security is what dads always insisted you on focusing, isn’t it?

8. Ye Kaise Kapde Pehne Hain?

While this might not be the case for many, surely is a case for those teenage girls! Dads always have an opinion on what clothes you wear, and well, they mean it for the best possible reasons, don’t we all agree?

9. Kya Burai Hai Arranged Marriage Me?

“I and your mother didn’t even see each other before our wedding and look how happy we are now.” Isn’t this a very common thing every dad says?

10. Paise Ped Pe Nahi Ugte…

We have heard this when we were kids, and probably hear it even know when we buy our dad a gift! He always meant it in a way that we need to save money for the rainy day…isn’t it?

11. Sharmaji Ke Bachcho Se Kuch Seekho!

While this broke our heart each time, we were compared with a Sharmaji’s child, but well…no one has escaped this dialogue!

12. Jao…Mummy Se Pucho

Because mom’s approval is equal to dad’s approval. Although, some moms simply sent us back to dads, such a tennis ball feeling, isn’t it?

13. Abhi Padh Lo Bad Me Aish Hi Aish Hai!

This is probably the biggest lie every Indian dad has ever told – however it was for your own good! Be it for 10th boards, or 12th, it surely did continue till you found a job!
