Source of ‘Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai’
In early 2016, an old Rs 10 bill with ‘Sonam Gupta bewafa hai’ (Sonam Gupta is unfaithful) scribbled across its face went viral on social media, causing curiosity and giggles. It was reportedly left by a lovesick boyfriend announcing Sonam Gupta’s infidelity.
The note is said to have made its way across various cities before a picture of it was uploaded on the internet, triggering heated debate.
Sonam Gupta was then a heartbreak symbol, with people on the internet rallying behind the issue of betrayal. Even though others, especially women, bemoaned stereotyping that came with the term, many men sympathized with the other boyfriend who had written the note.
Today, almost a decade after, the words have come back in a somber context, mirroring the unfortunate twist of events synonymous with the name Sonam in the current murder case.
