To err is human, but not when you’re posting on social media. And certainly not for our Bollywood celebs. As soon as the news of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s sudden demise broke on the evening of July 27th, a wave of grief gripped the whole of India.
Within no time, everyone got busy paying their last respects and homage to India’s legendary ex President fondly known as the ‘India’s Missile Man’. Disturbed by the loss of such a legendary personality, even the Bollywood elite expressed sorrow and tweeted with full force.
However, Anushka Sharma had no idea that a tweet of hers would land her in the line of fire after she misspelt Dr. Kalam’s name on the social platform. Unfortunately for her, she misspelt it twice, and only got it right the third time.
