Social media is the place for humorous memes, images and clips that leave the viewers entertained for a long time. A similar image of an examination form has gone viral, leaving social media users in splits. In this photo, the form of a candidate named Kundan can be seen. What made the picture unique was his parent’s name which he kept after the Bollywood actors Emraan Hashmi and Sunny Leone. Emraan’s name has been misspelt as “Emran Hasmi”. Kundan’s examination form reveals he was an alumnus of the Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University from 2017-2020. The photo was shared on Instagram, with the caption, “Bollywood”.
Social media users came up with different reactions regarding the meme. “The Nepotism we support”, commented a user. Some of the users were also surprised at Kundan’s caste mentioned in the examination form, that is BC. One of the users replied that it is a caste type, Backward Classes. Many have also raised concerns over the photograph’s authenticity and questioned whether it is fake or not. Another user called it AI (Artificial Intelligence) editing and a few others requested the Instagram page to cover Kundan’s phone number and other details.
A similar news went viral on February 17, 2024, when a photograph of actor Sunny Leone along with her name appeared on an admit card for the Uttar Pradesh Police Constable Recruitment examination. In the viral posts, an admit card with Sunny Leone’s name and two pictures of the actress were shared. The admit card mentioned Kannauj’s Smt Soneshree Memorial Girls College as the examination centre from 10 am to 12:05 pm as the exam time. The registration was done on the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board’s (UPPRB) website with Leone’s photo and registration number “12258574”.
Taking cognisance of the viral admit card, the UPPRB said that the admit card with the name Sunny Leone was fake. As per the UPPRB officials, during the application for the exam, the wrong photos were uploaded by a candidate. Upon receiving complaints, the recruitment board immediately corrected these cards by uploading blank photo sections.
