A hopeless romantic received a harsh lesson about love after he proudly flaunted a T-shirt from his ex-girlfriend.

The man thought it was “beautiful” that his ex gave him the shirt with the words “BHENCHOD,” according to his friend on social media.

His friend posted a picture of the romantic smiling on Twitter.

Alongside the picture, his friend wrote: “Asked him if he knew what his shirt meant.

“[He] said his ex got it for him and told him it means i love you and i think that’s beautiful.”

The post, which has now been retweeted more than 5,000 times, left Twitter users in hysterics.

Tweeters are laughing at the poor man because the word is Punjabi for “Sister F–ker.”

Some cruelly joked about the young man, while others reverted to memes to express their laughter.

One user said: “This killed me!”

Another said: “I bet he was literally dressing up as himself for Halloween.”

But one user appeared to be happy that he was humiliated.

She said: “Should teach men to stick to the girl and language they know and understand.”
