Citizen TV’s Naswa pranks do not always go as planned. While most people react well when the joke is on them, the actors do not always have a 100% success rate.
Take this photo for example. The actor without a doubt was forced to nurse that pain. Not sure whether this was before or after the guy was told he’s on TV.

Naswa is a hidden camera practical jokes show. The professional actors do play different tricks on strangers whose reactions are captured by hidden cameras. They are later shown the cameras after they have been pranked. The reactions are so hilarious.
What happened in the prank?
A Naswa actor dialed someone pretending to call them, setting up the classic “wrong number” schtick.
Instead of a lighthearted reaction, the unsuspecting person reacted aggressively—physically confronting (it appears from the blurred photo) or at least strongly challenging the prankster.
The situation clearly escalated beyond the harmless joke intended for TV.
Why did this flop?
Miscommunication: The target likely felt ambushed, threatened, or embarrassed—expecting a prank can drastically change how someone responds.
Cultural and context factors: People unfamiliar with Naswa pranks or hidden‑camera formats may feel provoked or humiliated, which can provoke retaliation.
