Priya Prakash Varrier has become a social media force to reckon with. And all of this because of a wink. But let’s not attribute it all to that one gesture. Credit should definitely be given where it’s due—to her crazy followers who’ve made the Wink Girl who she is today!
And who is she today exactly? Well, Priya Varrier is an 18-year-old debutante actor with a 5.1 million-strong follower base on Instagram. And that too before her first film released!
She managed to gain more than 600,000 followers in a day, which is record-making feat in itself. And believe it or not, her meteoric rise on Instagram has surpassed several popular celebs like Karan Johar and even owner Mark Zuckerberg himself!
And now, ladies and gentlemen, after reigning over your YouTube playlists, your social media feed, and of course, your hearts, Priya Prakash Varrier has now taken over exam question papers too!
Yes! Priya Varrier has made an appearance in the mid-term question paper of the Machine Learning course at IIT-Bombay!
Professors have been known to use pop-culture references and tools to make topics easier and more interesting for their students. And looks like Prof Amit Sethi, the subject teacher for Machine Learning too wanted to jump on the viral bandwagon!
Examinations are tough times in the lives of students. But a funny little unexpected twist in an otherwise daunting or scary exam paper like this one might just relieve their stress! Even if only for a few seconds, they would’ve managed to surprised smile, right?
IMO, good job there, Prof! What better way to catch the attention of engineering students than by asking them to help out a damsel in distress?
Also, major kudos to Priya Varrier as well! Girl, you’ve conquered IIT! What’s next? Elon Musk’s space-floating Tesla?
