A user shared, “Serve the guests. Complete the customs. Make arrangements for people who show up to ‘share condolences’. The strangest part about death is that you never even get to grieve without feeling guilty.”

Another one wrote, “There is moment in Mai, on Netflix, when a mother has to make tea for the guests at her own daughter’s funeral. It was the remainder of the kind of the labour we expect from woman. She has to prioritize serving the guests over taking a moment to grieve the loss of her own child.”

The third one wrote, “#AntiHindu #netflix should first learn that Hindus don’t touch the stove while mourning a death. Criminals on #mai named Mohan, Shankar but honest police officer & passionate lover named Farooq. Netflix repeatedly makes it obvious with the efforts Then they cry for existence.”
