Celebrating son’s birthday in train sparks criticism among netizens.
The viral video shows the birthday celebration inside the first Vande Bharat train to Kashmir. Young Moksh was surrounded by his parents and was seen cutting the cake while fellow passengers joined in with claps and cheers. The couple from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, celebrated their son’s birthday inside the train on its inaugural run.

Netizens react to the viral video.
One user wrote, “There are solid reasons for which we get hate from other nations.” Another wrote, “Train is not your party place; stop lighting candles. Keep the train clean, enjoy the journey instead of using it as your private property for doing party.” A third user criticised, “No public decency.” A fourth user commented, “Lighting matches inside a train??? Shouldn’t they be punished too for that grave fault?”
Speaking with ANI, Rakesh said, “It was a coincidence that it was our son’s birthday the same day PM Modi was going to flag off this train. We thought we should celebrate our son’s birthday on the first journey of this train so that his birthday becomes memorable for him.” On June 6, PM Modi inaugurated the first Vande Bharat Express to Kashmir, flagging it off from Jammu after the successful completion of the 272-km Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link project. The same day also saw the launch of another Vande Bharat service between Srinagar and Katra.
