MUMBAI – Bollywood hunk Sunny Deol may well be on his way to the Lok Sabha as the BJP’s member from Gurdaspur but it was his Bollywood junior Sunny Leone who was trending as votes for the Lok Sabha election were counted on Thursday.
A leading TV anchor slipped up during his election broadcast, mistakenly saying “Sunny Leone” instead of “Sunny Deol”, much to the amusement of those on Twitter.

The joke was not lost on Leone, who joined the meme-fest with her own tongue-in-cheek remark.
“Leading by How many votes?” she tweeted with a wink emoji.

“Arnab: ‘Sunny Leone…sorry Sunny Deol is leading from Gurdaspur’ Modi ke ishq mein devdas ban gya hai ye pagla,” wrote another user, referencing the lovelorn alcoholic from the Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay classic novel made and remade into films several times over the decades.
“OMG Sunny Leone is leading from Gurdaspur,” another wrote on the microblogging site.
Some called it the “highlight” of the day while others described the anchor as the best entertainer.
Let’s have a look at some of the reactions to Leone’s trolling the anchor:

On the other hand, Deol who had joined BJP in April of 2019 is presently in the lead in Gurdaspur constituency with over 21,000 votes.
