Serena Williams is one of the most popular celebrities in the US. The tennis star has been ruling the court for over two decades and is among the most followed athletes. As she steps out from the court, the 40-year-old is a fun-loving and kind personality. However, the former world number one had little idea that her kindness will someday land her in a scary yet hilarious prank.

Back in 2005, a popular show on MTV named ‘Punk’d’ was quite popular among the viewers. The host Ashton Kutcher with his team used to park the celebrities. Here’s how they pranked Serena Williams.

Serena Williams got punk’d

In the episode, we can see Serena Williams in a parking lot. She is inside her car when she hears a lady arguing with a kid. As the lady asks him to open the door, the kid somehow starts the car and runs away. Shocked by the incident, Serena comes out of her car where the lady tells her that her baby is also inside the car.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe he did that! Oh my god, her baby is in the car,” Serena said.

Later, Serena agrees to follow the car. When they finally see the car stopped, Serena comes out only to see Ashton Kutcher saying ‘You got Punk’d.’
