- In many traditional Indian families, saying धन्यवाद to a close relative or parent can actually be perceived as too formal or cold, as if you are creating a distance between you and the other person.
- In very casual settings, people may prefer शुक्रिया (shukriya) over धन्यवाद, as the former is derived from Arabic and is common in the shared Hindustani culture.
