Some had a quirky reaction to it, stating that it was a ‘takiya-kalam’. While takiya means cushion and kalam means pen, ‘takiyakalam’ refers to any trademark word or phrase and someone uses a lot. It is often at the end of a sentence. 

Another wrote, "Got to have something up there. Shabana nahi to sirhana hi sahi.” (He needs something around his arms, if not Shabana, then a cushion will do).

One more called him a santa and that he was hiding his share of sweets. “Is he guarding his share of mithai inside it?” was the answer. “He's being Santa n tht pillow is his bag may be,”  was another response.
