An individual wrote, "Leaving a 40lpa package to start for prep for UPSC really takes gut. Great outcome, Aditya. A lot of people will be inspired by you and will not lose hope easily."

A second said, "It was really inspirational. The story of millions of Indians in different fields, though, remains unsung / unheard."

"I can't but imagine the contribution of many more of them around him that helped make it possible," commented a third.

A fourth said, "Consistency, never give up attitude is a must. The 12th Fail movie is one of the best. It also shows how a single honest official can turn a person who has started trending the wrong path to take the right one and be changed for life. Loved the movie."

A fifth posted, "Wow, so inspiring to see someone ranking first in the UPSC exam! Congrats, Aditya."
