TikTok is awash with creators performing pranks on unsuspecting victims, however one man in a recent viral video didn't find his involvement very amusing.

In the footage, shared to the app by an account called Rezaandpuja, a woman can be seen adding salt to some chai tea to give to her father-in-law.

The clip, which has been viewed a whopping 4.3 million times since it was posted on September 24, starts with Puja, who describes herself as an "Indian babe," filling a spoon of hot tea with salt.

Text overlaying the video, which can be watched here, then reads: "Giving my father in law EXTREMELY SALTY TEA PRANK [laughing-face emoji]."

She then walks over with the teaspoon asking the middle-aged man: "Can you check if there's enough sugar in this?"

The woman hand him the spoon to taste and he immediately drops his phone, exclaiming: "What is this?!"

Puja asks him what he means, and the man responds: "What did you put? Beta [daughter] It's salt I think..."

When the prankster assures him its sugar, her father-in-law protests: "Maybe it's in the cup, or something in the milk? The powder? What did you put in chai?"
