Election reporting comes with immense pressure. Live coverage of the vote counting process even more so. In a rat race to break it first, one TV anchor accidentally called Sunny Deol as Sunny Leone, the actress.
The slip up immediately became food for memes. Even the Indo-Canadian actress Leone found the whole thing hilarious.

Here’s What Happened
During live reporting of Lok Sabha 2019 Elections results, Arnab Goswami, the TV anchor covering the Gurdaspur polling results said
Sunny Leone is leading.
It was actually Bollywood actor Sunny Deol who had contested the elections from Gurdaspur. What anchor actually meant to say was that Deol is leading. Talk about a Freudian slip.
A Meme is Born
Within minutes, people started to share memes of the ‘Sunny day’.
Wait for it, because it’s a Sunny ☀️ Day!
