One user wrote, "How sweet Uncle Ji." "The way uncle just let him sleep," a second user added. "What kind of woman is she? he is a small kid, let him lean for a while, and she acts weird," added a third user. "So many comments shaming the mother for not letting the child sleep. But we don’t know the reality. Maybe the child has a habit of falling into a deep sleep, and it can become difficult to wake him up on time or carry him. OR. Maybe she doesn’t want him to have a quick nap and ruin his nighttime sleep. We don’t know. And we shouldn’t judge. It is easy to type a comment," wrote another user.
"Bestest ever bestest ever video, thank you for capturing this innocence which is dead in today's world.. NIRDOSH BACHPAN," a fifth user added. "Ye uncle ji Kitne ache Hai...bache k liye pyar dikhta hai aur kuch log toh bacho ko dekh k aisa muh bigardte hai," a sixth user added. "Oh my God.. Mothers who travel alone with their child can completely relate to this situation. There's no other way than waking up your child," another person added.
