Advocate AK Srivastava, the lawyer of the parents, opinioned that the case portrays the truth of modern society. "We invest in our children, make them capable of working in good firms.

While some people supported the elderly couple for their complaint, there were some who criticised them for pressuring their son and daughter-in-law. "Exactly. First u force your child to study as per your wish and then demand love and sympathy for yourselves. What kind of parenting is this?' said a user. Another wrote, "They don't have money for themselves but pota poti k liye jaydad padi h inke pass." A user pointed, "I am unable to understand the logic. You spent because you were able to. Was there a condition that the son has to support you in return? In what way is having a grandchild solving your financial problems?"
