Anushka Sharma needs GK lessons: Actor pays tribute to Abul Kalam Azad instead of Abdul Kalam, gets trolled
Former President and Bharat Ratna APJ Abdul Kalam passed away on Monday evening after suffering s massive cardiac arrest in Shillong. As soon as the news of his demise spread, Indians took to Twitter and Facebook to pay their respects and express grief over the loss of one of India's greatest sons.
Anushka Sharma also tweeted out her respects and expressed her sadness on the Missile Man's death. But she had to do it three times as she got the former president's name wrong, twice.
In her first tweet, she said,"Very sad to hear about the passing of ABJ Kalam Azad. Loss of an inspiring visionary and a wonderful soul. May his soul RIP."
Anushka got lambasted on twitter instantaneously following the incorrect tweet. She promptly deleted the tweet, and send another one out.
"Very sad to hear about the passing of APJ Kalam Azad. Loss of an inspiring visionary and a wonderful soul. May his soul RIP.
Anushka, corrected ABJ to APJ in her second tweet, but she didn't notice a glaring mistake. The fact that she had mentioned APJ Abdul Kalam as APJ Kalam Azad, made it seem that she didn't know who our former president APJ Abdul Kalam was and confused it with the freedom fighter and another Bharat Ratna Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.
After facing considerable flak from a grieving twitteratti, including KRK, Anushka finally got it right the third time.
Offcourse, Twitterati would not miss the opportunity to troll her.
While Anushka does need to brush up on Indian historyHowever, she was not the only one who looked stupid when tweeting about Kalam. The top prize could go to Isha Koppikar, whose tweets on Kalam could best compared to a bad WhatsApp joke.
She tweeted first,"A great Muslim died on an auspicious day of Hindus in a Christian city. He maintained secularism and democracy in death too."
Except we don't know what "Hindu" auspicious day was yesterday, or how Shillong, or for that matter any city, is a "Christian" city and why does all of this even matter when a beloved former president has passed away.
She didn't stop there.
"RIP Shall not be read as Rest in Peace for such great Legends.....it should RIP : Return If Possible....." she tweeted out following her first "secular" tweet.
