Viral video: Son scores 30 percent in 10th, parents celebrate

Every parent wishes for their children to score good in exams. While some use strictness when it comes to their studies, others lure them with promises of giving them something of their desire. It is all for the betterment of their kids, and to make education a priority. However, some parents often fall into greed and forget prioritizing their kid’s happiness over grades. As a result, they rebuke even at 80 percent marks. Amid such normalization, a parent’s heart touching gesture for their son who scored only 35 percent marks in his 10th board exams, is winning hearts online.

In the now viral video shares on Twitter by IAS officer Awanish Sharan, the clip shows the parents celebrating their son’s marks instead of reprimanding it as he passed his 10th board. They can be seen feeding him sweets and pampering him a lot.

While sharing the post Awanish wrote in Hindi, “A class 10th student from Mumbai secured 35% marks in the examination. But instead of being sad or angry, his parents celebrated his success.”
