The video began with the little girl tying her shoelaces as Amitabh walked up to her. He said, “Khul gaya? Lace khul gaya? Hum bandh de (Did your laces get undone? Should I tie)?” At this, the girl replied with a smile, “Haan chalega (Yes, that works).” As Amitabh came forward to fix her laces, she untied them, making Amitabh question, “Aare bandha tha kaahe khol rahi hai phirse (It was tied, why did you untie it)?”

At this, the girl pointed at him and smiled. Amitabh said, “Hum baandhenge (Should I tie)?” As he tied the shoelaces, he said, “Isme pehle se hi gadbad hai (There is already a problem here).” After he finished tying the shoelaces, the girl said that it won’t ever come off again. To this Amitabh said that there was an error in tying the shoelaces in the first place. “Humne toh upar upar se aese hi bandh diya hai (I somehow tied it).”
