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.
