‘Girlfriend ke sath ghumne jana hai, help me’: Jaipur Man’s QR Code Posters Asking for Date Funds Go Viral

‘Girlfriend ke sath ghumne jana hai, help me’: Jaipur Man’s QR Code Posters Asking for Date Funds Go Viral
In a surprising display of modern love—or what some might call digital-age begging—a young man from Jaipur has taken to the streets with posters requesting money to fund a trip with his girlfriend. The posters, which boldly read “Girlfriend ke sath ghumne jana hai, help me” are not just eye-catching for their message but also for the UPI QR code printed right below it, allowing instant donations.
These posters have been spotted across several busy areas of the city including Patrika Gate, World Trade Park, and Gaurav Tower (GT), where they’ve been drawing attention from curious passersby. The man behind this strange fundraising attempt is reportedly Rahul Prajapat, who is receiving money directly into his Punjab National Bank account.
What makes this campaign even more unusual is that some people are actually donating. Videos of the poster, and even people scanning the QR code to send money, have gone viral on social media. This offbeat act has sparked a mix of reactions online—ranging from amusement to criticism.
Some are calling it a creative twist on crowdfunding, dubbing it a “Lover’s Startup”, while others are criticizing it for turning romance into a public financial appeal. One user commented, “Fell in love, scared of expenses… now begging to manage it!” Another sarcastically wrote, “Give this guy a Nobel Prize — at least he’s working hard for love!”
While it remains unclear whether this is a genuine effort to fund a romantic getaway or a clever ploy for online attention, what’s certain is that Rahul’s QR-coded posters have sparked conversations across platforms.
In a time when people seek support for education, health emergencies, or social causes, this request stands out—some see it as humorous, others as shameless. Either way, the incident highlights the strange directions online culture and public fundraising can sometimes take. While many turn to crowdfunding for meaningful and urgent needs like tuition, medical bills, or community support, moments like this remind us just how unpredictable—and at times absurd—the internet can be.
