The Sher ab sher nahi raha meme, which shows a lion that is no longer the ruler of the jungle, is quite famous in India. The meme is frequently used to make fun of those who have lost their status or influence, or to convey feelings of nostalgia for bygone eras.
Usually, the meme depicts a sad or dejected-looking lion in an image. The meme’s caption either offers sympathy for the lion or makes a lighthearted comment about how the animal is currently feeling.
One well-known meme variant, for instance, shows an image of a lion watching TV while lounging on a couch. “Sher ab sher nahi raha, ab toh TV dekhta hai pura din,” the caption says. (The lion used to be the king, but he is now simply a couch potato.)
