Confusion Reigns: Older Generation Struggles to Understand Virtual Dating

Dating today looks very different from what it did a generation ago. But not everyone from the older generation relates to the new digital forms of intimacy, asArchana Puran Singhand Parmeet Sethi’s son Aaryamann recently found out. In a special vlog celebrating 100k YouTube subscribers, Aaryamann revealed he was datingVikram Vedhaactress Yogita Bihani and had a virtual date planned with her. “I am feeling a little sad because Yogita is not here. We will try to fix that. I have a virtual date planned with her after this,” he said. His father Parmeet Sethi, confused by the concept, responded, “Yeh kuch nayi cheez suni maine abhi(This is something new that I am hearing about).” Aaryamann laughed and said, “Keep up with the times dad.” Later, Parmeet crashed the virtual date and asked, “What is this?Yeh kya ho raha hai?(What is happening here?)” Aaryamann responded, “Yeh humara virtual date chal raha hai papa(We are on a virtual date, papa). Thank you for interrupting, but we were just talking about you.” Parmeet, still puzzled, added, “This is virtual date?Yeh kya zamana aagaya hai?(What era are we living in?) You should have met her in person. What do you even mean by virtual date?”
