Sometimes when famous people make blunders on social media platforms, trollers don’t spare them. One has to be very careful with the choice of words or facts while tweeting on the micro-blogging platform. This morning we saw how Virat Kohli was thrashed on Twitter for asking everyone to celebrate “Crackerless Diwali”.
The recent one to bear this is Kiran Bedi, who made a big mistake by tweeting a video of an old lady and tagging her as PM Modi’s mother. Yes, she posted a video in which ha very old lady is dancing to Garba tunes at home. Kiran Bedi thought she is PM Modi’s mother and saluted her for being so active even at this age.
This is what she tweeted;
Spirit of Deepavali at tender age of 97. She's mother of @narendramodi (Hiraben Modi -1920) celebrating Diwali at her own home👇🏼@SadhguruJV pic.twitter.com/HBXAzNXomC

Click here to watch the video on Twitter.
Haha, she was confident that she’s Hiraben Modi and so, got it back from Twitter in an epic way.
What’s your credibility?

After being criticized by Twitter, she had to apologize. She posted another tweet for clarifying herself;
Am informed it's mistaken identity @SadhguruJV. But salute to the mother with so much vigour. I hope i can be like her if/ when I am 96..! https://t.co/5llHN40tg8

The tweet read, “Am informed it’s mistaken identity @SadhguruJV. But salute to the mother with so much vigour. I hope i can be like her if/ when I am 96..!”
This is the reason it’s always advised to check the source properly before tweeting anything.
