A Reddit post where a JEE aspirant shared a bizarre and unsettling conversation with his father has gone viral. An 18-year-old, who goes by the username "Delicious View 516," revealed a shocking family secret his father shared with him in an attempt to motivate him for the upcoming JEE exams. We know you are already interested in knowing what was the surprise the student's father slightly revealed, however, leaving him in worry rather than excited.
According to the now-viral post, the father had made a deal with his son seeing him struggling to crack the NIT. The father promised a "big surprise" if the son managed to secure a spot in NIT Trichy ECE or any better educational institute and made his dream come true.

Motivation? Panicking moment instead
For a while, the student assumed the reward would be something material—perhaps a new bike or gaming setup, but the dad's surprise was more of a shocker that led to panic. For him, instead of motivation, the father's deal came as a bombshell revelation when the father said he had another child, who was far from home these years.
In a tone that was both serious and mysterious, the father told his son, "We had another kid at birth… He was sent away for reasons you’ll understand when you’re older." At first, the JEE aspirant thought his father was joking while trying to motivate him in a quirky way, but his mother's reaction to these words put him into thought. “Why would you tell him now?”, the Reddit post quoted the mother, taking the situation took a far more ominous turn.
“Can’t focus on studies anymore..."
The son, now questioning whether he actually has a long-lost twin, has been unable to focus on his studies ever since.
“I can’t focus on my studies anymore—What if I actually have a twin? What were the reasons that made them send him away? And why does my JEE rank determine when I’ll get to meet him?” the student wrote, expressing his confusion and panic.
The father’s response was equally cryptic: “Get the rank first. Then we’ll talk.”
