Pakistani media has done it again!
On May 2, Pakistani journalist Ahmer Naqvi tweeted a photo of a billboard advertisement for Arnab Goswami’s soon-to-be-launched Republic TV.
This is what he tweeted:
Why is Ritesh Desmukh our national migraine? pic.twitter.com/XbNjcTuS9Y

The actor quickly responded to Naqvi’s post with a picture of himself and a witty caption
@karachikhatmal Btw that’s my migraine look. pic.twitter.com/K1Y4mVeGdx

After Naqvi realised the error, he clarified but not without taking more digs at Goswami
@TheRestlessQuil @BucketheadCase i genuinely thought it was Ritesh and realised its because i’ve never seen Arnab with his mouth shut so had no context.

Turns out many on Twitter thought Deshmukh would be the perfect choice to play Arnab in a biopic.
@Riteishd @karachikhatmal Ritesh Deshmukh for biopic on Arnab. Let’s do this.

@Riteishd @karachikhatmal Riteish is a funny man. He should totally do a parody on him. The Nation wants to NO!

Well, more bashing and hilarity followed and Twitter did what it does the best – trolling. And when it’s Arnab, people just go nuts

@karachikhatmal @CarDroidusMax He might be Pakistan’s migraine, but he’s our diarrhea.

Deshmukh got trolled too mostly for his not-so-funny sex comedies
