He always supported the class with his jokes, intelligent comments and love. They said he inspired them to come together as a class and have everyone participate. They also said that Pranav's radiant joy for life despite any situation and genuine personality is something everyone should strive to achieve. He had perfect attendance throughout 9th and 10th grades until the last day.
