Viral Post On "Sharam Naam Ki Cheese" Wins Over Internet

Bilingual puns can often be among the funniest examples of wordplay. If you appreciate 'Hinglish' (Hindi and English) puns, you're in for a treat. A recent viral post features a hilarious take on a popular statement. Many of us have heard the Hindi phrase: "Sharam naam ki cheez bhi hoti hai" ["There is such a thing as shame"]. It can be uttered in surprise and disapproval when people behave in what is perceived as a shameless manner. The viral post takes the statement literally, by changing the Hindi "cheez" to the English "cheese."

The result has been visualised in a picture of a cheese packet. In the post by X user Ankit Sawant, we see a mock-up of a packet with the brand name Amul on top. (Note that this is not an actual product by the company). We see a piece of cheese illustrated on it, along with markings that represent generic product information. The caption reads, "Sharam naam ki bhi koi cheese hoti hai!" Take a look below.
