Viral Video: A viral video posted by Ruchi Kokcha has triggered a huge debate on social media regarding the changing dynamics of family relations in the digital age. The video features a young girl sharing how she blocked her father on social media because he did not approve of her reels. Her comments, and the reaction from the podcast hosts that followed, have been criticized by viewers concerned about the erosion of family values.
The girl says I have blocked my papa because he didn’t like my reels and the guys reply wow so sorted on that. These are the podcasts that run well these days?

The girl in the video talks about her decision so casually, and the reaction of the podcast host after hearing this was equally so: "Wow", so sorted on that, thereby approving her act. This reaction has been widely criticized for its apparent disregard for familial bonds and the emotional impact of such decisions.
Ruchi Kokcha wrote on Twitter, "These are the kinds of podcasts that run well these days? The total disregard for family bonds in this generation is tearing apart the value framework. A parent, I am shaken. Can't imagine what her dad must be feeling." Kokcha emphasized that while one expects a generation gap on views, there has to be some way to respectfully resolve them while communicating—not by going all the way to blocking.
The video has struck a nerve, opening up a wider discussion on how social media is affecting personal relationships. Critics say digital platforms make it too easy to cut ties—a part of a worrisome trend: putting online validation before real-life connections. A conversation such as this very much reflects the need for greater awareness in engaging and resolving issues within a family and that digital actions, as much as possible, should not replace meaningful communication and understanding.
