The video of the incident has been shared multiple times on social media. "When I received the news that I have a daughter, I was extremely happy. However, a few people gave weird reaction. Some of them told me that a girl child will be a burden etc," said Anchal.

"I have small earnings but I wanted to give a message to all those who consider girl child as a burden. I am proud that I have a daughter," Anchal Gupta said.
