A new word ‘fasak’ has taken the internet by storm. And only 68-year-old Telugu actor
Mohan Babu can tell what it means. And what could be the language.
While the exact meaning is not known, because it does not have a meaning as such, it is trending on social media. Everyone is coming up with their own meaning and using it in a context.
On Monday, Mohan Babu who has been in the film field for the last 43 years, exclaimed how happy he was at knowing the word ‘fasak’ was trending.
The actor had used the word in an interview to a television channel.
He describes how in his role in a film he asks someone to kill his (Mohan Babu’s) wife. As he leaves to carry out his order, he explains the sequence during the interview in English saying that the killing is not to be carried out by stabbing repeatedly. “Don’t kill so many like this. Only once. Fasak,” Mohan Babu says in the interview describing the scene in the film and the dialogue. The word ‘Fasak’ is not used in the movie but Mohan Babu with a hand gesture shows how the neck should be sliced. “Only once. Fasak,” he says.
The word has gone viral on all social media platforms. And everyone is showing in videos and memes posted giving their own meaning to it. Or just using it to mean whatever.
With ‘fasak’ trending, Mohan Babu tweeted on Monday saying: Fasak. Good to know it is trending.
Manchu Vishnu tells me there are minimum 200 spoof videos.
