Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai – Sonam Gupta Vs Aarti Gulati

If your name is Aarti Gulati or Sonam Gupta, our sympathies are with you. As for others who don’t know why we are saying so, it’s because ‘Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai’ was among the top trends on Monday, displacing topics such as currency ban and Koffee With Karan Johar.

Earlier this year an old Rs 10 note surfaced on the Internet with the words, ‘Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai‘ and ‘Aarti Gulati Bewafa Hai‘ (Aarti Gulati or Sonam Gupta is unfaithful), written on it. It seemed like a jilted lover decided to give it back to one Aarti Gulati or Sonam Gupta for being unfaithful to him, in the process maligning all the girls with a similar name.

Social media users had hilarious reactions to this particular Rs 10 note.

While memes, tweets and of course the pictures of defaced Rs10 and Rs2,000 notes with a lovelorn person’s statutory warning to all and sundry– ‘Sonam Gupta Vs Aarti Gulati’ – is breaking the Internet, it is a no-brainer that all the Sonam Gupta and Aarti Gulati in the world are not very happy to have their wafai questioned.

It all started earlier this year when a ten rupee note surfaced on the Internet with the aforementioned message scribbled on it. But like all things online, it slowly faded away. With all the memes and jokes circulating online, in came the Internet trolls right on cue, making the lives of all the Sonam Guptas and Aarti Gulatis miserable.

 Mumbai Mirror spoke to three such hapless Sonams and  Aartis who are battling an ever-increasing number of messages from strangers who want to know the ins and outs of their bewafa tale. Here’s what they have to say:
SONAM GUPTA, 25

‘My uncle wanted to know if it’s an ex-boyfriend’

Sonam says that the funniest reaction she has gotten since the trend has broken the Internet is when one of her uncles called her on Tuesday asking her if it was her ex-boyfriend who had written ‘Sonam Gupta bewafa hai’ on the note.

AARTI GULATI, 25

‘Got over 20 calls, 50 texts’

The student told Mirror that the reaction from her friends and family was initially funny, but it gradually got irritating mainly because of unknown people who have been irritating her on social media.

“People have been talking about it on all my WhatsApp groups. I have received over 20 calls and more than 50 messages. To top it all, random people are sending me messages on Instagram and Facebook. They have sent me pictures of the note asking me ‘Are you THE Aarti Gulati?’”
