In the viral video, family members can be seen cheering as Zaid walks in smiling before cutting the cake amid applause. And that's not all. It shows the student walking in, cutting the cake, amid cheers and claps from the family.

As the video gained traction online, Ruksar Patel, a member of Zaid’s family who shared the clip online, explained the reason behind the celebration. “For me, my child’s 55 marks are greater than 95 or 85. Instead of scolding him or making him feel bad, I want to keep him happy so that he never feels less than anyone else. There are many parents who have lost their children after saying hurtful things like this,” she said.

Social media reaction

The wholesome gesture struck a chord online, with many people saying encouragement from parents matters more than marks. The video drew mixed reactions on social media, with many users saying they loved the family’s heartwarming celebration. Others reflected on their own experiences, sharing that their efforts were never appreciated in a similar way, even after scoring higher marks.

“Congrats buddy…don’t worry about marks, they don’t define your future,” one user wrote. Another commented, “Brooooo 55 per cent main itna celebration itni izzat to Mujhe 84 pe bhi nhi mili thee (I didn’t get this treatment even when I scored 84 per cent).”

“This is how every parent should celebrate,” read another comment, while someone else wrote, “Song and bond in family, even when the situation is bad.”
One user even shared, “I scored 95 per cent in Class 10 and 94.8 per cent in Class 12, but never received this kind of treatment.”

“This is how every parent should celebrate.” another one added. A third expressed, “10th me 95% thee, 12th me bhi 94.8%. Paar esi treatment nahi mili.” A fourth commented, “Congrats buddy... don't worry about marks, they don't define your future.”
