Hello, Harish. Well, this is the definition of a very special kind of irony. In Russion it is not called irony at all: we call it the Socrate's method.

An irony is when you are the boss of someone who disagrees with everything you said in meetings, so hated that you will fire him on the first sign of mistake by him. And without realizing the relationship, you have been seriously dating his daughter for 6 months and just been invited to his birthday party organized by her. ooops!
