Shweta (meme)
Shweta is related to a name of a girl who accidentally leaked her private conversation via a Microsoft Teams call which eventually became a viral meme in India in February 2021.[1] The girl named Shweta reported to have forgotten to mute her microphone and unintentionally revealed the private details of her friend who is a Pandit and his ex girlfriend when she was in her online class session.[2] Her fellow batch mates who were also present during the online class urged Shweta to immediately mute her mic but the efforts went in vain. Shweta memes started popping up, intending to troll her.[3]
The relevant Microsoft teams call involving Shweta was leaked on several social media platforms including YouTube and Instagram.[4] It also triggered a meme fest on Twitter whereas memes flooded under the hashtag #ShwetaYourMicIsOn and it also overshadowed the hashtags such as #PetrolPriceHike and #IPLAuction on Twitter.[5]
Popular brand names such as Netflix India and Pizza Hut India also started to make memes regarding Shweta zoom call leak. The brands hilariously trolled everyone to mute their microphones for promotional purposes.[6] Popular music composer Mayur Jumani converted the meme into a mast melody song.[7]
