Korean heart vs Indian dad! Man misinterprets 'I Love You' heart gesture for money, gives daughter Rs 500

A viral video has captured the Internet's collective heart, showcasing a tender moment between a father and daughter at a train station. The young woman, bidding farewell to her dad, makes a trendy finger-heart gesture — a symbol of “I love you” made popular through Korean pop culture — but her father adorably misunderstands, slipping Rs 500 into her hand instead.

This adorable moment has sparked a wave of nostalgia among millennials and Gen Z viewers, highlighting the innocence and simplicity of parents who raised their kids in the '90s. The clip has been shared widely, with many calling it the "purest content of the week".

The video, shared by Instagram user Ayu Shikesarwani, has garnered over 70.4 million views and was captioned “the last generation raised by parents who are this pure.” She highlighted how her dad interpreted a modern love gesture as a request for pocket money, and didn’t hesitate for a second before helping.

One user commented, "You can see heartache, and concern for his daughter's safety in his eyes."

Another user wrote, "Such pure emotions need to be cherished more."
