'Ek Chhuti Kha Gaya Yeh Collab': Internet Reacts Hilariously As Dussehra, Gandhi Jayanti Fall On Same Day

Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti have fallen on the same day this year, Thursday (October 2, 2025). Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated to mark the birth of Mahatma Gandhi, who played a pivotal role in India’s freedom movement and preached the path of non-violence. Dussehra, on the other hand, marks the victory of Lord Ram over Ravana, symbolising the triumph of good over evil. Usually, people in schools, offices, and companies enjoy two separate holidays for these festivals. However, since both fell on the same day this year, the internet has been buzzing with memes and hilarious reactions.From Instagram to X (formerly Twitter), social media was flooded with posts. Some memes referenced Narayana Murthy’s “70-hour workweek” comment, joking that ''he must

be happy since corporate employees got just one holiday.'' Others wrote, “this collab literally ate up one more holiday” because of the Dussehra–Gandhi Jayanti overlap.One user commented, “ek chhuti kha gayyi yeh collab.” Another said, “Collab festivals ka hai, suffer hum kar rahe hai.” A third remarked, “no extra chhuti.”Check out some hilarious reactions here -
