‘Desi dad problems’, Twitter highlights problematic relationship between former CJ Rana Shamim and son

Rana Mohammad Shamim’s son and Supreme Court Advocate Ahmed Hassan Rana appeared in Geo News programme, ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath’ last night to discuss the allegations his father made against Former Chief Justice Saqib Nisar, as his father’s son and lawyer.

However, Ahmed Rana’s interaction with Anchorperson Shahzeb Khanzada stirred a debate in the country, reminding everyone of the “desi dad problems” one faces in some households.

Below are a few of the highlights from the bizarre statements Ahmed Rana made while describing his relationship with his father.

“People are laughing at me, my friends are texting me, I have to go play snooker at 10 pm, and will ask my wife to take permission on my behalf at 09:45 pm from my father that can I go play snooker from 10pm -12am.”

“I am a lawyer of the Supreme Court, he taught me how to a get a date at the court, I got angry and said you will teach me how to get a date? He said I am your father you listen to what I am saying.”

“I, while representing him, will only speak how much he tells me to otherwise I will not.”

“He is resting, I asked if I could talk to him, my kids told me he is resting.”

“I need to take permission for snooker. I am 43 years old. why do want to insult me further.”

“He didn’t even tell me he is about to make an affidavit. What more can I say?”

“I am saying it with my hands folded, I don’t have much say in front of my father. He talks on his own will and later asks me to get out.”

Twitterati reacted to the rants of Ahmed Rana, which were less towards presenting a case for his father and more towards reacting to how badly he is treated by him.

Moral of the story. Let your kids play snooker 🎱 w/out the need for seeking formal permission, esp once they are over 40. Also, let them grow, flourish & develop self-confidence. Hug them. Often. Otherwise, one day they will appear on the @shazbkhanzadaGEO show & create history https://t.co/SCERvhoMdX

Ahmed: “Papa tell me more about affidavit”

Papa: “Get up, sit down, get out, come here, talk to me, Ok I’m done! Allah hafiz”
