The post was flooded with numerous reactions and comments soon after it was posted on the official Twitter handle of BMC. A number of netizens thought that the BMC was doing the right thing by raising awareness about the pandemic in the way it was. Several other netizens also felt that a lot of people are still not taking the necessary precautions that they should take, considering COVID 19 is an ongoing pandemic.

Several other people stated on the Tweet that aside from Gauahar Khan, there are many people attending marriages and parties without wearing masks. Netizens stated that the BMC should take actions against them too.
