Pakistani Professor, Zafar Jaspal Gives Al-Jazeera Its BBC Dad Moment

Do you remember the insanely viral video in which a guy giving an interview to the BBC was interrupted by his children? At the time, the video had literally broken the internet and people had nothing better to laugh about for days!

While many had found the video hilarious, the gentleman in question had also been criticized for taking himself too seriously. Many had quipped that he could have just turned around, engaged with his children and waited more patiently until they had been taken out of the room. People were especially worried if the lady – who at the time was believed to be the children’s nanny – would be fired.

The entire family had once again appeared on BBC following the viral run of the video. The Asian lady, it was revealed was not the children’s nanny but their mother. The family had seemed much more comfortable in their skin when looking back at the hilarious incident.

A Pakistani professor from Quaid-e-Azam University, Zafar Jaspal was faced with a similar situation when in the middle of an interview with Al-JAzeera, while commenting on the on-going Chinese projects in Pakistan, he notice the presence of a child behind him.

The child, a boy, slowly advanced towards Jaspal and at one point came close enough to feature conspicuously in the frame. At this point, the nervous professor made an annoyed face and not-so-subtly made a facial gesture that demonstrated anger. The child, probably well-aware of what that facial expression meant, immediately turned to leave.

It is unclear whether the child was Jaspal’s son or a domestic help. In either case, we do worry about what the kid went through once the interview came to an end…!
