While many applauded the proud parents for going all out, the internet responded with a wave of witty remarks like “These 96 cakes could have been a three day vacation in Manali”, “Ab itne cakes finish kaun karega.”
The gesture sparked a wider conversation online about the different ways parents celebrate academic success. While some embraced the over-the-top show of affection, others criticized it saying, “What is the need to show off this much”, some also said that it is just a waste of money.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had released the Class 12 results on May 13, 2025, with over 1 lakh students scoring above 90%. Amidst the competitive atmosphere, Yash’s story stood out, not only for his stellar performance but for the jubilant way his family chose to commemorate it.
While reactions ranged from heartfelt to hilarious, one thing was clear: the celebration reflected not just academic excellence, but the unconditional pride and love that fuel such moments. Whether it’s one cake or ninety-six, what truly matters is the sentiment behind it.
