Apart from mindlessly scrolling on social media and killing time, there are also some other reasons why the world is currently online. We sure learn a lot of things from the internet and sometimes just going through the feeds of celebrities also helps us answer some tricky questions in exams like in this case.
Way back in June 2020, TV actor Rubina Dilaik, who belongs to Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, shared a video wherein she was seen munching on a rare species of mushrooms called ‘Gucchi’ that are exclusive to the Himalayas.
She also shared that the rarest and the yummiest Gucchi mushrooms are the most expensive. Along with her mukbang video of relishing it, she also showed us how the Himalayan fungus is authentically prepared by the locals.
But who would have thought this informative video of hers would come in handy while answering a question in the UPSC prelims exam?

Yes, during the Union Public Service Commission prelims exams that happened recently, the applicants were quizzed about these rare mushrooms. Here’s a screengrab of the question.
It’s like the viral meme “likh leta hu kahi UPSC me naa aa jaye” just came to life. People online had a field day taking a dig at this unexpected happening. This is what they said:
