Responding through a reel, Palandurkar began with a serious expression before laughing and saying, "No, I am not okay. I am that Gen Z student who is facing all this." She criticised the wording used in the BJP's post, saying, "Your caption game is very weak. Your ChatGPT is not giving you good responses. What is 'Babar ki virasat'? We can't relate to it. Make it more relatable."
The creator also accused the party of attempting to divide young people. "Divide and rule in 2026? You're trying to divide the same Gen Z whose unity taught Parliament the term 'Gen Z'. Logic is not logicing," she said. Defending her own achievements, Palandurkar revealed she had scored 93 per cent in both Class 10 and Class 12 while actively pursuing dance and content creation. Displaying medals and certificates earned in academics, yoga and karate, she added, "Extra-curriculars and academics can coexist, and I am living proof of it."
