The much hyped one-of-a-kind farting competition that had 200-odd men and women from cities like Mumbai, Jaipur and Dubai registered for it turned out to be a flop show as just three showed up, of whom one was from the host city.
According to a report in The Times of India, the local representative walked into the odourless room to great fanfare despite being about three hours late and, like the other participants, walked out with a cash prize of Rs 2,500 and a fragrant hamper that shamed him more than his failure to fart.
It further said that the host pleaded the participants to "Fart from the heart," but the only air that the fart contest in Surat on Sunday managed to emit was one of amused disappointments.
No woman participant turned up though many of them had sent entries.
Kavita Parmar, the lone woman on the three-member jury that also included RJ Devang Rawal and Dr Pranav Pacchigar, had, according to The Times of India report, braved her husband's laughter to sign up to judge the "out-of-the-box" event.
"We hope people fart as loudly as we waited," the preschool teacher was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
Farting in public is among the most uncouth and obnoxious things to do and often lands both the doer and the bystanders in awkward and embarrassing situations. But that did not deter the 48-year old Yatin Sangoi whose idea it actually was to organise this one-of-a-kind farting competition.
The report report further said that a few days ago, Sangoi had let one rip while watching a web series with his family.
"They joked that if there was ever a farting contest, I would win. And I thought, why not hold such a competition to stop people from shaming those who fart?" he was quoted as saying.
Sangoi, a singer, insisted that he hadn't find as much fame through the TV talent show as he had through "this weird thing".
