Harsh Gujral & BookMyShow stun fans with April Fool’s Prank

 Fans of Harsh Gujral were left in shock after a cryptic social media post on March 31st hinted at his retirement from comedy. The comedian, known for his razor-sharp wit, shared a screenshot of a Reddit thread speculating about his departure from the stage, further fueling the frenzy with a cryptic message: “A lot of you have been sending me this… batata hu sab, thoda patience rakho”

Later that evening, Gujral dropped a video that sent his followers into a meltdown. Disheveled and visibly distressed, he addressed the rumours head-on, saying: “Actually, it’s true. Bas bahut ho gaya. Lagta hai ab time aa gaya hai. It’s over. I AM retiring…”

Before fans could process the shock, the video abruptly cut to static. As the clock struck April 1st, the truth was finally revealed - Harsh Gujral wasn’t retiring from comedy, just from his current set! In a follow-up video, he laughed and facepalmed, saying: “Arre arre, comedy se thodi na! I’m retiring mere purana set se!”

The dramatic reveal was part of an epic April Fool’s Day prank, created in collaboration with BookMyShow, India’s leading entertainment destination, to mark the final leg of Harsh Gujral’s hugely successful tour, ‘Jo Bolta Hai Wohi Hota Hai’.

After an incredible four-year run, the tour is entering its last chapter, kicking off on April 18th in Bengaluru and travelling to cities like Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Surat, Vadodara, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Bhubaneswar, Patna and Bhopal.
