Writers take a lot of pain in coming up with creative and unique works! It takes a lot of brain-storming in order to write something that touches hearts. However, it’s equally disappointing when someone copies this creative work and fails to give credits to the same.
Internet is so vast that plagiarism goes beyond control sometimes. But did we ever expect SRK to copy something and not give due credits? Of course NOT! Sadly, he has done so and is receiving all the flak on social media.
While announcing the title of his upcoming film “ZERO”, SRK wrote a tweet in Hindi. Many appreciated him for his choice of words, but at the same time, there were voracious readers who caught hold of his plagiarism.
This is the tweet;
टिकटें लिए बैठें हैं लोग मेरी ज़िंदगी की, तमाशा भी पूरा होना चाहिए!
As promised, here’s the title of @aanandlrai ‘s film. @AnushkaSharma #KatrinaKaif @RedChilliesEnt @cypplOfficial #2ZERO18 https://t.co/V7xtLY2k5u

This is the original tweet;
We loved the way SRK expressed himself on Twitter. However, we couldn’t believe that he has actually used the words written by Mithelesh Baria. Well, he had written them in 2015, so it’s obvious that he is the original creator.
SRK should have at least given him credits, don’t you think so? Here’s how people trolled him left and right…
Say hello!
Hey @iamsrk, say hello to the one who wrote these fabulous lines @mithelesh

Give him credit!

Behtar lagta!
@iamsrk ये वास्तविक तौर @mithelesh द्वारा लिखा गया है, अगर आप उन्हें भी मेंशन करते तो सबको बेहतर लगता https://t.co/phNsKLmddB https://t.co/TQRnVBalv9

Another dig!
Mithelesh is so often the target of plagiarism. We've fought for him earlier too.
His one liners r irresistible but I wish people weren't so irresponsible— Rana Safvi رعنا राना (@iamrana) January 3, 2018
A sweet request!
Dear SRK,
Above lines are so beautiful but it will appear much much beautiful when the actual writer @mithelesh #mbaria will get its due credit.
You being a great actor, art lover, humble n responsible person… We are expecting you to understand this concern.
Thank You!— सिद्धांत | سدھانت (@Siddhant01) January 3, 2018
Is it?
So @mithelesh's words are @iamsrk's first Hindi words on Twitter? https://t.co/KrwtT22tg7

Please acknowledge!
Dear Sir @iamsrk
The promotional tag line for the film #ZeroTheMovie is actually taken from a Published book of @mithelesh and used without any credits/consent for promotions..
Am sure you believe in respecting the work of writers & acknowledging the proper credits.

The writer would have really been very happy if SRK would have given him credits. We are waiting for the actor’s reply on this. Do you think he will respond?
