We've already seen iconic Bollywood dialogues becoming memes as they become part of our cultural consciousness, and with more people on the Internet, the limit may have increased to encompassing lines from trailers of movies, but this also shows us that for some people, the limit does not exist.
Hotstar's new show, Criminal Justice shows just that. A dialogue from this show seems to have struck a chord with desi users and has become the perfect meme template for that very reason.
Starring Vikrant Massey in the lead role, the trailer to the series shows him being accused of a crime, his defence for which to his lawyer is, "Kya hua, kab hua, ye sab mujhe yaad nahi.”

This dialogue, out-of-context, is perhaps universally relatable. Or at least, that's what netizens felt when they applied it to every possible situation.
