Several users shared their reactions in Reddit's comment section. While one wrote, 'I mean, Pandays indeed came out of the syllabus.

Another commented, 'These nepos should take out each other. That is the drama I am here for."
'Aamir Khan's son, Bachhan's grandson, Saif's son, etc. So many big nepos, it's low-key funny that Chikki Panday's son beat them all, like who even cares for Panday family otherwise?" read another comment. Another user wrote, 'Pandays did come out of the syllabus. Even the one who is not in the acting profession, Alanna, managed to make her way through YouTube."
