We’re seeing how thrilled everyone is about weightlifter Mirabai Chanu winning the silver medal at the Olympics. As posts congratulating the athlete flooded the internet, actress Tisca Chopra was also seen doing the same.
Although she seemed to have tweeted a photo of another athlete congratulating Mirabai. And soon, the internet responded to this faux pas of hers.
You make us proud girl! @mirabai_chanu ♥️ #Tokyo2021 #Olympics2021 #indiaattheolympics pic.twitter.com/51duXvcP2z

While some people simply pointed out her error, others were quick to say snappier things.
Please check before you post. Don’t just do it for the retweets and fame. As if you really care. Tnis isn’t even @mirabai_chanu.

Wannabe proud much? Putting wrong image for a national hero is so disrespectful 😶😶

I am doubtful whether Tiscaji really knows where Manipur stands in our India map

This is not mirabai’s photo. The girl in pic is the Indonesian lifter who lifted her best

Pls delete the tweet Ma’am. This is wrong pic.

The photo is apparently of an Indonesian sportsperson.
