A student from Bihar has recently become the centre of a viral story due to his unconventional choice of names for his parents on an examination form. The student, identified as Kundan, filled in the names of Bollywood actors Emraan Hashmi and Sunny Leone as his father and mother, respectively, on an exam form submitted to Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University.
This amusing incident, coupled with a picture of the form showing these names, quickly gained traction on social media, leaving netizens in splits.
Kundan, a student of Dhanraj Bhagat Degree College in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, is reported to have completed his Bachelor of Arts (Honors) from 2017 to 2020.
The form in question, which has his photograph and personal details, was shared on Instagram by the account “indianrareimages.” The post has since received widespread attention, with comments ranging from humorous reactions to serious questions regarding the authenticity of the image.
The examination form shows Kundan’s father’s name as “Emran Hasmi” (a misspelling of Emraan Hashmi) and his mother’s name as “Sunny leone.” This deliberate or accidental misrepresentation has sparked both laughter and curiosity among social media users. Many were amused by the bizarre parentage details, while others pointed out that such a stunt could only result in disciplinary action or, at the very least, administrative corrections.
The news has brought to light not just Kundan’s peculiar form but also a similar incident that occurred earlier this year. On February 17, 2024, a viral admit card for the Uttar Pradesh Police Constable Recruitment examination mentioned the name “Sunny Leone” alongside her photograph as a candidate. This incident led to an inquiry, where the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board confirmed that the admit card was fake. A candidate had uploaded the incorrect photos during the application process, resulting in a viral meme on social media.
The recent episode involving Kundan’s form has triggered a range of reactions from social media users. Some comments have joked about the nature of “nepotism” supported in such cases, while others questioned the integrity of the university’s administration for not detecting this anomaly earlier. Moreover, the mention of “BC” as Kundan’s caste on the form led to confusion, with many assuming it referred to something else, when in fact, it denotes “Backward Classes,” a recognized caste category in India.
The growing trend of students and individuals using popular celebrity names in official documents—whether as a form of protest, humor, or sheer negligence—has raised questions about the processes in place to verify such details. With such cases going viral almost instantly, the educational institutions and administrative bodies find themselves caught between becoming the butt of jokes and maintaining their reputational integrity.
Given the virality of Kundan’s examination form and the Uttar Pradesh admit card incident, the question remains whether these occurrences are isolated pranks or indicative of a deeper problem in the digital verification process. While it is easy to laugh off such incidents, the impact on the students involved and the educational institutions cannot be overlooked. The spotlight now falls on the university to clarify the authenticity of Kundan’s form and take appropriate actions, if necessary, to prevent future cases of such frivolous entries.
For now, this story continues to amuse and baffle people online, leaving many to wonder what could possibly inspire students to pull off such stunts in official forms. As educational and recruitment bodies adapt to the digital age, the incorporation of stricter verification and AI-based checks might be the way forward to ensure that “Emraan Hashmi” and “Sunny Leone” only appear on cinema screens and not on examination forms.
