From Sari to Sorry: When Love Took an Exam-Stealing Detour in Chandigarh


 Chandigarh Romeo dons sari, steals exam for lady love!  But love bites back in hilarious twist. Exam-stealing caper goes bust, leaving tears & laughter in its wake.
Angrez Singh of Ram Saran Colony in Fazilka district


Ah, yes, the age-old tale of love, exams, and a well-placed salwar kameez. Brace yourself for the most bizarre exam impersonation since a chihuahua waltzed into an SAT with a fake monocle (true story, Google it).


Picture this: Chandigarh, a city usually known for its manicured gardens and traffic lights that blink like disco balls after midnight. Suddenly, it's invaded by a 25-year-old Romeo named Sonu, determined to ace his girlfriend's health worker recruitment exam... in full drag. Yes, folks, Sonu wasn't your average, run-of-the-mill impersonator. He went full Bollywood heroine, rocking a salwar kameez like Sridevi in her prime, hair bun perched atop his head like a surprised croissant.


The invigilators, bless their suspicious souls, weren't buying it. They eyed Sonu's "feminine" swagger with the scrutiny of a hawk spotting a sequin in a crow's nest. One pointed question later, and Sonu's carefully crafted facade crumbled faster than a sandcastle during a monsoon. Tears, confessions, and maybe a stray "sorry, wrong exam hall!" later, Sonu was whisked away by the authorities, leaving behind a trail of giggles and a lingering whiff of jasmine perfume.


Now, the cops are sniffing around, convinced this Romeo-in-a-saree is just the tip of the impersonation iceberg. Could there be a whole gang of exam-swapping Lotharios out there, swapping identities like playing cards at a high-stakes game of musical chairs? The plot thickens faster than a pot of dal under pressure!


But let's not forget the comedy gold in this caper. Imagine the scene: Sonu, channelling his inner Rani Mukerji, trying to answer medical questions about gallbladders while battling the urge to scratch his nonexistent itch. The invigilators, stifling snorts as they watch his every nervous flutter of the dupatta. This is the kind of stuff Bollywood movies are made of, except with less singing and more awkward foot-shuffling.


Of course, the ethical ramifications of this whole charade are like a lukewarm bowl of kheer – not exactly palatable. Impersonation is bad, kids, even if it's for the love of your life and involves a killer sari collection. It's unfair to the real students, messes with the whole meritocratic system, and frankly, who wants to explain to your grandkids that your dad got his job by cross-dressing for a medical exam?


So, while we chuckle at Sonu's sartorial escapade, let's also remember the lesson: hard work and a decent study guide are always the best accessories for any exam, no matter how tempting the lure of a borrowed salwar kameez might be. And who knows, maybe one day the real story of Sonu, the exam-swapping Casanova, will grace the silver screen, a hilarious cautionary tale with a Bollywood twist. Just make sure there's plenty of popcorn, because trust me, this one's a doozy.
