    It’s April Fool’s Day in India and all over the world and each year companies try to fool their customers with some sort of prank hoping to go viral —unless you’re Google. The search engine giant cancelled its plans for April Fool’s pranks for the second time in a row but that didn’t stop other companies from cracking a joke or two. 
    From OLA to Flipkart to Volkswagen, here are some of the most hilarious April Fool’s pranks carried out by tech companies all over the world.

    The German car company briefly fooled its customers by changing its name to ‘Voltswagen’ to highlight the launch of the all-electric ID.4 SUV. Many people fell for the change in nomenclature as it was carried out a few days before April 1st. The German company has now confirmed that the name-change was part of an elaborate April Fool’s prank and will be reverting to its original name. 

    What began as an April Fool’s effort got the whole world buzzing. Turns out people are as passionate about our heritage as they are about our electric future. So whether it’s Voltswagen or Volkswagen, people talking about electric driving and our ID.4 can only be a good thing. pic.twitter.com/Rzx8mJgxkT

    Indian ride-hailing company also tried its hand at fooling its customers with a video that was posted by Co-Founder and CEO Bhavish Agarwal. The video feels very much like an official briefing video where the company introduces an electric flying car/taxi called the ‘OLA AirPro’. While electric flying cars have become a reality, which is probably why OLA managed to fool many of its customers easily. Unfortunately, the video was yet another elaborate prank that kind of messed with our expectations.

    eCommerce websites aren’t usually known for being funny or pulling pranks by Flipkart caught quite a few off guard last night. The company announced that it will start accepting Bitcoin as a way to pay for products on its website. However, not many people were fooled by this stunt as India has been quite apprehensive about cryptocurrency for the past few months.

    The German luxury car company announced that it has developed something called “lunar paint.” The company claimed that the new paint can charge a car on-the-go using solar power and also use something called “revolutionary photovoltaic technology,” allowing electric and hybrid models to recharge under the moonlight. This one cracked us up real hard, to be honest.

    This country and the clash between the ‘janta’,  the ruling party and the opposition is no less than the drama we see in a ‘saas bahu’ soap. Governing the largest democracy in the world is no joke and comes with a myriad of responsibilities and liabilities. Obviously, one law, one decision cannot cater to all but yet, every year, we instil faith in the Finance Ministry to bring some relief to the ‘aam aadmi’ in the form of a nation-friendly budget. Investments for the common man is a very important part of life and obviously the interest rates on saving schemes affects their future. The Finance Minister, Ms. Nirmala Sitharaman, took everyone by surprise when she announced that the government was rolling back orders on slashing interest rates on saving schemes because the order was initially passed off as an ‘oversight’ only.
    Interest rates of small savings schemes of GoI shall continue to be at the rates which existed in the last quarter of 2020-2021, ie, rates that prevailed as of March 2021.
    Orders issued by oversight shall be withdrawn. @FinMinIndia @PIB_India

    Naturally, this is not a random party invite which was cancelled and the host could just politely broadcast a message explaining the plan is cancelled. A policy and everything related to it is studied and discussed at large before passing off for an entire nation. People were very astonished at this announcement and had a few questions to ask.
    How can this be an oversight? Such policy decisions can't be just typed and broadcasted by some Babu or PA in a jiffy without the perusal of who's who of fin min. It looked deliberate and probably withdrawan due to outrage or the fear of impact on ongoing elections.

    For others who could not find many words to express their disappointment in how the government sometimes functions so randomly, they decided to call it a prank for ‘April Fools’ and resorted to making memes and jokes out of this.

    If it is Oversight then #NirmalaSitharaman needs to resign immediately as such Oversight can't be tolerated
    There may be effect on voting in 5 states,so withdrawn! https://t.co/MoYYMgAYOI

    In 2016, Arjun Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan left everyone stumped with the ground-breaking movie, Ki & Ka by R. Balki. 
    Breaking the stereotypical gender norms, this movie had a rather interesting take with Kareena being the bread-winner of the family and Arjun being a house-husband. 
    This unconventional script touched upon quite a sensitive topic but successfully conveyed the message with its progressive storyline.

    1st April 2021, marks five years of Ki & Ka, and to celebrate the success of the movie, Arjun posted a picture on his Instagram feed, with a mangalsutra in his hand. 

    He mentioned that the same was memorabilia from the movie and also asked Kareena to weigh in if the movie should have a sequel.
    Take a look.

    Arjun wrote, "A piece of memorabilia from ki & ka !!! Missing the set and missing the on-screen Ki... this film was personal as I chose it for my mom and it’s now even more personal after working with Bebo and Balki sir... I think we need a sequel what say @kareenakapoorkhan? #5YearsOfKiandKa,”

    As soon as Arjun posted this picture, people started complimenting his movie and lauded him for his daring role. 

    Some called it an awesome movie and thanked Arjun for doing it, while others called it an underrated movie.

    Because of this movie's unique concept of regressive gender roles, it was a blockbuster at the box office.

    Last year, when the movie completed four years, Arjun took to social media and made a video to tell his fans that the movie was an ode to his mother and said that he agreed to do the film just by hearing one statement, which was 'I want to become like my mother'. Now, that's quite heart-touching, Arjun!
