However, Some viewers also came in support of teachers as they said, noting that they are required to conduct "special classes for rhymes." One commenter added, "I have huge respect for teachers." The video also ignited a discussion about the salaries of individuals in the teaching profession.

Meanwhile, the Hindi children's rhyme "Aaha Tamatar Bada Majedar" saw a surge in popularity on social media as users started to creatively use its audio in their posts. A significant moment occurred when a user posted an edited video featuring the K-pop group BTS dancing to the catchy tune, which initiated a broader trend.
