Do you guys find anything wrong in the above two tweets written by actor Sidharth Malhotra?
All the actor did was wish the people of Punjab and Haryana to keep safe while the much awaited verdict in Ram Rahim’s case was announced. And ya, like any actor the man promoted his film.
So what? Right.
Unfortunately for the tall hunk, his tweet which was posted on Friday morning was only read in the evening by Twitterarti at a time when violence spread rapidly not only in Panchkula but also in other parts of north India.
Then Twitterati did what they do best – troll without even checking the time of the tweet.
With so many notifications popping up on his phone, the actor was quick to respond to his trolls and staunch enough not to delete his old tweet.
But because we are a country of trolls, his clarification also didn’t go down well.
It’s okay Sidharth, you tried your best! But kya karen, bade bade deshon mein aaisi choti choti baatein ... hoti rehti hai.
