On the occasion of Father's Day, singer Bilal Maqsood decided to surprise his father, Anwar Maqsood, with a playful interaction highlighting the legend's charming resistance to technology.

Bilal captured a heart-warming moment on video, where he gently teased his father about his old-fashioned phone, only to be hit back with his "upgraded" flip phone which can… wait for it… tell you what time it is! The adorable father and son exchange not only entertained but also garnered admiration.

Bilal, known for his musical talents, wanted to do something special for his father, Anwar, on Father's Day. With his camera ready, Bilal approached his father, who was engrossed in his passion for painting. As Anwar turned to face his son, Bilal couldn't help but playfully question his father's outdated phone.

Anwar looked at his old phone with amusement and pointed towards a sleek flip phone he had bought from the US. With a touch of triumph in his voice, he proudly displayed his "upgrade" to his son. When Bilal asked if this phone even works in Pakistan, Anwar dialed in front of him to let him know that it does, in fact, do its job. He even revealed that his new phone even displayed the time.

Bilal, unable to contain his amusement, gently informed his father that all cell phones, including the simpler one he had, long possessed the capability to display time. Anwar's reaction was nothing short of endearing—a mix of surprise and amusement.

Moved by the heart-warming and humorous encounter, Bilal decided to share the video with the world. He uploaded the clip to his social media accounts, accompanied by a caption, "Abbu and technology. Happy Father's Day!"

The video quickly spread, captivating the hearts of viewers everywhere. The comments section has since been overflowing with admiration for Anwar, who is already celebrated for his contributions as a legendary playwright. Many gave a nod to his steadfastness in choosing a simpler lifestyle and focusing on his artistic pursuits rather than succumbing to the allure of the modern world.
