Curry Bear’s IIFA Bollywood Prank
Recently I was in Toronto attending the Bollywood IIFA Awards. While I was there, I met up with some of my friends from Twitter. We went to the Fairmont Hotel where all the Bollywood celebrities were staying. The lobby of this hotel was packed with desi people waiting for a Bollywood celebrity to appear. Since I’m so evil & so are some of my friends, we decided to take advantage of these naive people.
One of my Twitter buddies, Jugal, (a.k.a JugalTheShah), came up with an idea for a prank. He suggested that one of us should pretend to be a celebrity while the rest of us take pictures with him in the hopes that other people will follow. We decided the fake celebrity would be our friend Uneeq (a.k.a MyNameIsUneeq), who also runs DesiDanceTeams.com. Our Filipino friend Joey (IamJoeyZuniga would pretend to be his bodyguard/escort. I told Uneeq & Joey to take the elevator from the basement floor and to get out at the lobby. Jugal & our sexy lady friend Swati (a.k.a IndianDiva) would be the ones to spot Uneeq and try to take pictures with him. Our hope was that Swati taking a picture with Uneeq would create a ruckus and others would follow. The other guys, Falgun (a.k.a Falgunz), Uneeb (a.k.a Uneebriated) & Rahul (a.k.a BoyNamedRahul), would be strategically placed to film & take pictures of this whole event. I decided to stand next to a fire alarm in the back in case my friends got in trouble. Yes, this whole prank was planned out like Mission Impossible. From the video, you can see our plan went rather well.
Here are some of the retarded things you will see in the video:
- an aunty taking a picture with Uneeq thinking he’s a celebrity and asking to take one picture “with my family”
- a bunch of kids asking for Uneeq’s autograph & trying to take pictures with him
- Jugal & Swati bursting out in their evil laughter once they see the crowd going out of control
- the security personnel asking Uneeq if he wants to be escorted to the special IIFA lunch for the actors
- Jugal’s terrible acting when he sees Uneeq and says “Oh my god, that’s him!”
Even after the camera stopped rolling, Uneeq was being stopped by people and they wouldn’t let him go. So there you have it folks. Now you can see how easy it is to fool a bunch of desi people with a mob mentality.




That is a great prank. Kudos to Jugal.
Can you please come to Cali so I can be a part of a prank??? This was awesome!
hahahahha love it
that aunty in the fruity color clothes is hilarious.
This turned out so awesome!!!
LOL! amazing….the aunty made the whole prank a million times better! good stuff guys!
I wonder if this aunty will ever see the video.
If you pay really close attention there is a girl walking who stops dead in her tracks…takes a few pictures..and then turns around and goes back with her friends with a “I just got punk’d” look on her face.
[...] pulls of an awesome and hilarious prank during the 2011 IIFA Awards Festival, fooling anyone and everyone consumed by IIFA [...]
Without even watching the videos, I laughed my butt off for your prank.
It’s not only desi people, but everyone, that goes celeb crazy. Humans are so gullible…
ahahah Jugal. “omg!” and then walks slow as hell over
Was he autographing with his real name or a fake one?
I was autographing my real name.
Childish and Immature for your age people! I mean this is a prank that pre-teens concoct.
