Off The Cuff

Swara Bhaskar took part in a Twitter challenge.

In 2020, a new trend took over social media, challenging people to reveal their age without actually revealing the number. The idea behind the challenge was for the participants to look back on things from their childhood that only people of their generation would remember. Now, the trend is back with a twist, and everyone from Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma to actor Swara Bhaskar is taking part in it.

It all started this morning when a Twitter user shared an interesting question on the microblogging platform. Subrahmanyam KVJ asked his followers, “Without revealing your age, say something that today’s youth will not understand.” Among those who responded to the challenge was Vijay Shekhar Sharma, founder and CEO of digital payments app Paytm.

“A/S/L?” The 43-year-old wrote in response to the question on Twitter. Mr Sharma’s tweet referred to the Internet shorthand for “age/gender/location” commonly used in instant messaging programs and Internet chat rooms.

Meanwhile, 33-year-old Swara Bhaskar also participated in the challenge. “Blank call,” she wrote, adding a smiley face at the end.
