I had thought some people would turn up. But the fact that they would come in thousands is something I had not

Remember In the future, there was a day where people were actually thinking of going and shouting ''Pyaar Ek Dhoka Hai'' on Valentine's Day?

Pyaar Ek Dhoka Hai = Love is a cheat

That happened and on a scale so large that even the event organizers — All India Bakchod (AIB) — were taken aback by the sheer number of people who waged the war cry against romance.

There were...wait for it...around 5000 singles who gathered at Mumbai's Kamgar Krida Bhawan.

Tanmay Bhatt - AIB uploaded on his Instagram

"What an insane evening. I hope the 5000 people showed up to yell Pyaar Ek Dhoka Hai had a happier, more fun Valentine's Day than they were expecting. Everyone deserves to be happy, even if you're not dating anyone today. What started off as a joke, ended up being this. Forever grateful. To our audience. To my friends. 6 years on, the silliness continues. Always join us. 🙏 #PyaarEkDhokaHai #WhatHappensWhenYouTakeAJokeTooFar #5K #DhokaSquad"

Whoa! Loud chants of 'Dhoka hai, Dhoka hai' rent the air after every slogan. The thundering voices of single Mumbaikars echoed throughout the jam-packed ground. Some sight it was, we tell you!

AIB's co-founder Tanmay Bhat couldn't believe that people actually took time out to participate in such madness.

Even Mojorojo aka Rohan Joshi, who was headlining the event in a crisp white kurta and Nehru hat, couldn't contain his surprise. He wrote in an Instagram post, “Doston. You’re all crazy. This whole evening was crazy. Thank you for indulging our ridiculousness and getting in on the joke. #PyaarEkDhokaHai"

From 'Coke se pehle Coca hai, pyaar ek dhoka hai' to 'Mummy Papa ne bola hai, pyaar ek dhoka hai' to 'saare aashiqon ne bhoka hai, pyaar ek dhoka hai', there were very cheeky and quirky slogans.

Apart from small sets, Tanmay, Rohan, Kenny Sebastian, Sumukhi Suresh and Kaneez Surka, also had a number of single jokes in their kitty along with some super fun improv gigs. Making the audience trippy with his beats was Ritviz behind the console.

But it was Sakht Launda Zakir Khan who received the loudest cheer upon walking up the stage. After all, he's Haq Se Single! *winks *

The whole evening looked like a funtastic event and why not? Even singles can have oodles of fun on V-Day, in their own off-the-wall way. And they did. Social media has proof.
