As the clip gained traction, it drew mixed reactions from netizens. One user wrote, “This isn’t about mocking marriage , it’s about normalizing that a woman’s life doesn’t end with divorce. Support like this is exactly what society lacks.” Another remarked, “If the divorce is without any alimony, then full respect to the family.” A third commented, “I'll refrain from commenting without knowing both sides of the story but these "celebrations" are unnecessary.”Many others praised the family’s approach. One user noted, “Daughters are a blessing, not a burden. Celebrating her freedom with sweets and dance instead of hiding in shame & this is the New India we need to see. Meerut parents are setting goals for everyone! All the best for your new life, Vineeta.”While a large section of social media has supported the gesture, others continue to question the idea of celebrating a separation. The viral video continues to fuel debate, reflecting changing attitudes as well as lingering divides in how society views divorce.
