In an inspiring display of unconditional support and positivity, the parents of a 10th-grade student in Bagalkot, Karnataka, chose to celebrate rather than scold their son who failed in all his board exam subjects.
Abhishek Cholachagudda, a student of Basaveshwar English Medium School, scored just 200 out of 600 marks—approximately 32%—and did not pass in any of the six subjects in the Karnataka SSLC (Secondary School Leaving Certificate) exams.
While many of his peers ridiculed him for his poor performance, Abhishek’s parents stood firmly by his side. Rather than reacting with anger or disappointment, they cut a cake and hosted a small celebration at home to boost his morale.

“You may have failed in exams, but not in life. You can always try again and succeed next time,” the parents told him, embodying a rare but deeply encouraging approach in a society where academic failure is often met with shame and harsh criticism.
Their message was clear: a temporary academic setback does not define a child’s future. Abhishek, visibly moved by the gesture, expressed his gratitude and determination. “Even though I failed, my family encouraged me. I will again write the exam, pass, and succeed in life,” he said with renewed hope.
The story has since struck a chord online and among educators and mental health advocates, many of whom have praised the parents’ positive response. At a time when exam-related pressure continues to take a toll on students’ mental well-being, this simple act of support stands as a powerful reminder that empathy and encouragement can go a long way.
As exam results continue to be declared across the country, Abhishek’s story is a beacon of hope—not just for students, but for parents too, showing that failure can be a stepping stone when met with love and belief.
