Student Compares Women To Steam Iron In Exam Answer, Leaves Internet Divided

A Hindi teacher published an answer sheet that differed from conventional exam responses. The question was straightforward: "How many types of steam iron are there?" However, the reply that followed took an unexpected course, leaving the teacher with an answer that he could never have anticipated in his wildest dreams: bringing humour into an otherwise monotonous academic exercise.

Social Media Speculation

Rather than providing a standard explanation of steam iron varieties, the student opted for a tongue-in-cheek comparison, likening steam irons to women. According to the student's interpretation, there are two types of "Istree" (Steam Iron) – one that straightens wrinkles on clothes and another that metaphorically "straightens" men. The punchline? "They both set fire once they become hot," the student implied, indicating a shared inclination to elicit fiery emotions.

Despite the controversy surrounding the viral post, the teacher's reaction was unexpected. Instead of reprimanding the student for deviating from the expected response, the teacher expressed admiration and amusement. The student was awarded full marks and commended for their unconventional approach, saying, "Son, you did a great job today," while granting him ten marks. The video clip was posted by an Instagram user.

As the answer sheet circulated online, it sparked a flurry of reactions and speculation among netizens. Some applauded the student's wit and creativity, while others shared doubts about the authenticity of the exchange, suggesting it may be a staged stunt for social media attention.

The video clip accompanying the post, shared by an Instagram user, quickly amassed views and comments, with many viewers expressing amusement through laughing emojis, whereas some skeptics questioned the integrity of the exchange, speculating that the student may have self-assigned marks, "Khud se likh ke khud se check kiya huaa h (Translation: Written and checked by himself)," one person commented in the comments section. Some commenters even stated that the teacher and student were the same person.
