Dua humorously pleaded with PM Modi to give his father a nudge about cutting down on sugar, because at home, all his advice fell on deaf ears. Yes, jalebis were involved. Guess what? After his reel went viral, the Prime Minister reshared it on Instagram and even responded with a message urging people to reduce sugar intake and stay healthy.

Yuvraj Dua's Reel Goes Viral

Yuvraj Dua's reel wasn't just funny, it was highly relatable. He paints a picture of a son trying and failing to get his father to listen to him about anything. In his dad's "favourite list," friends come third, family second, and Modiji is always first. If his father goes to an event, he'll spend time with two or three uncles discussing Modi.

Dua jokes that if a building were on fire with his wife, children, and Modiji inside, his dad would choose Modiji without a second thought saying the line "Ab ki baar aag se bahar Modi paglu."

He even exaggerates that if something dramatic happened on TV like a dragon flying by - his father wouldn't even glance away from Modi's image, showing just how obsessed he is. This is where the phrase "Modi paglu papa" comes from "paglu" in Hindi slang for being crazy about something or someone.

Jokes apart, Dua says his father doesn't listen when he asks him to cut down on sweets, especially jalebis. No matter how much he warns him, his dad just keeps eating them.

Calling On The Prime Minister

Here's what really made the reel go viral: Dua jokingly asks PM Modi to speak about reducing sugar intake in his next "Mann Ki Baat". His logic is simple - his dad listens to Modi, but ignores him. By framing it this way, Dua turns the Prime Minister into the punchline: parents may ignore their children, but a word from the PM? That gets noticed.
