While I understand that humor has its place, when it's misused, it can cause real harm. What may have started as a joke by someone, is now creating unnecessary worry and playing with the emotions of those who care about me, especially my family.” He continued, “My little daughter, who goes to school every day, is already anxious about my well-being, constantly asking questions and seeking reassurance.
This false news only deepens her fears, forcing her to confront more questions from her peers and teachers, stirring up emotions that we’ve been trying to manage as a family.” Shreyas further wrote, “To those pushing this content further, I ask you to pause and consider the impact. Many people have genuinely prayed for my well-being, and it’s disheartening to see humor used in a way that can hurt sentiments, cause distress to my loved ones, and disrupt our lives.
When you spread such rumors, it doesn't just affect the person targeted—it also affects their family, especially young childre.
