– “Happy that you realised in the process of development of Hyderabad, we have missed out on basic ethics, principles & good social behaviour. Should maintain our culture. Hope the concerned dept. is serious about law & order,” commented another user.
– “I’m the most pro-PDA person you’ll ever meet, but this is stupid! One sudden break, and they’ll risk their lives and others around them,” wrote the third one.
While some supported the couple, emphasising that they have done nothing wrong, safety concerns were acknowledged.
One user remarked, “Apart from coming out of the sunroof on a moving car, the couple has done nothing wrong. Let them enjoy their age.”

“Until they’re not disturbing others, that’s ok in my opinion! You don’t have to interfere in others’ lives,” another said defending them.
Acknowledging the personal nature of the act, users stressed the importance of safety on the roads.
“It’s their personal thing, no issues – but from a safety point of view on the roads, the sun/moonroof can be fatal for them if the driver brakes all of a sudden. That’s all the issue is, since they have to happily be alive,” a netizen commented.
