Haaye Ram!" That's how social media reacted to a viral video where a woman, during her Diwali cleaning, stumbled upon a stash of old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.

Expressing her surprise, Deepti explains that the money was originally set aside as an emergency fund, only to be forgotten after the currency ban. The clip has since gone viral, amassed over 22 million views and sparked a variety of reactions from viewers who found the scenario both humorous and relatable.
