Vinay’s parents taking out the sweet from his mouth, which they had fed to him in 2006.

NEW DELHI: By scoring 99.4% in her 12th board examination and securing AIR 1, Sukriti has become the toast of the town but is giving a tough time to other students who have failed to meet the expectations set by their parents.

Of late, 12th standard board examination marks have become a measuring instrument with which parents and relatives adjudicate whose child is better than whom.

A similar incident happened in Delhi's Punjabi Bagh, where the topper of 2006 was rebuked and made to feel guilty by his parents for having lesser aggregate than Sukriti.

As per the neighbours, who had exclusive coverage of the incident, Vinay Sharma, the victim, was watching movie 3 Idiots alongwith his family when the news of CBSE results 2016 broke out.

One of the neighbors said, "We heard some unfamiliar sounds coming from the opposite side of door. As the result season is going on, we thought, like every other day, some or other parent must be whipping their child for scoring less than what is required to keep their head high in the society."

"But when we came to know that it was Sharma ji thrashing his son, it was a setback for us as we ourselves normally compare our children with Sharmaji's son. This is Karma!," said the neighbor and left the place to call his long distance relative whose son also appeared for 2016 examinations.

It should be noted that 29 year old Vinay, who is working in California as COO of a top IT company was on a annual leave to visit his parents.

On speaking with Vinay's dad, he tried to explain the reason behind his natural behavior and said, "No doubt my son was a topper and was carrying the legacy of being Sharmaji's son. But while preparing in 2006, he should have been aware of the future toppers and should have kept inflation of marks in his mind. He was lucky that Delhi University's cut-off was 95% during that time. What if it had been 100% like this time? He would have failed to make to North Campus. I envy Sukriti’s parents as they have a better child than me. Also, Sharmas have now been let down against Guptas."

Mr. Sharma left the place without talking much to us and switched off the TV as the scene of Farhan confessing to his dad about not wanting to continue engineering and pursuing photography played on in the movie..

Meanwhile, the toppers of all preceding years have gone into hibernation (from their parents) for few weeks so that they don't get the same dose like Vinay.
