Bobby Deol's Gupt Trended On Twitter After 19 Years. Here's Why

Exactly 19 years after its release - which was way, way before Twitter even existed - Bobby Deol's hit thriller Gupt trended on the social networking site. And the reason behind it isn't so gupt anymore.

Thursday's trend owed itself to the actor's recent gig as DJ at a Delhi club about a month ago. According to a report in Deccan Chronicle, Bobby Deol's set list failed to please. Apparently, the actor-turned-DJ kept playing songs from Gupt, leading to guests demanding their money back.

"It was a sold out event for Bobby's opening act. Bobby began the night with the signature melody of his popular 1997 thriller Gupt, and kept playing tracks from the movie on loop throughout the party, which continued into the wee hours of the morning," a source present at the event told Deccan Chronicle.

At the end of the night, a bunch of people were seen angrily asking for a refund from the manager and other officials. The crowd was absolutely incensed as the tickets were priced from Rs 2,500 to Rs 4,000. Bobby Deol, 47, had left by this time, said Deccan Chronicle's source.

Twitter's day was made, of course. Here are some of the funniest tweets on the topic:

DJ wale bobby mera refund dila do. #Gupt #BobbyDeol

The critical question is, why did Bobby Deol only play Gupt songs and not this classic? Will we ever know? https://t.co/Bg3MSkRU6R

Why you couldn't find Bobby Deol after his DJ performance backfired -Cos yahan wahan,chuppa kahan haan gupt hain woh.

For the benefit of millennials, Gupt co-starred Kajol and Manisha Koirala. Bobby Deol's last major film was 2013's Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, opposite dad Dharmendra and brother Sunny.
