The video has divided opinions among viewers. Many praised her proactive approach, with one user commenting, “These are the kinds of videos that should get maximum reach. Positivity spreads when they see someone do it. Hats off to you.” Another added, “What you are doing is inspiring. Please keep it up.”
However, some questioned the necessity of her actions, pointing out that cleaning an already tidy space seemed unnecessary. The viral clip also reignited conversations about the maintenance standards of Indian Railways, with users emphasizing the need for improved services and greater accountability in ensuring passenger comfort.
“I respect what you’re doing, but I don’t want this to be normalised, One Need to do either clean themself or Have to pay Tax on everything. I should pay tonne load of tax and I also need to clean the train myself…?” one viewer commented.
