In his post, Arora wrote, “I am so proud that my daughter is settled in Helsinki, Finland. AQI, Helsinki: 22. I am settled in Delhi. AQI, Delhi: 507. I have been a good parent.”
Some users congratulated him, while others questioned his view of life in Finland. One person who had lived in the country shared their experience, saying, “I was at Oulu, Finland for around 1 year back in 2005. Air Quality is good but hey not a fun place like India. 6 months night – 6 month days- difficult for body to adjust. Future generations will speak finish language mainly.”
