Things are not going right for the Indian skipper Virat Kohli as he is being criticised for his poor captaincy and bad decisions in the test matches against England. As we all know, Kohli is a big celebrity and he endorses many brands but his one promotional tweet has earned him the wrath of countrymen.
The former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee left the world on 16th August, 2018, and when Twitter was flooded with emotional messages paying tribute to the great politician, the official Twitter handle of Virat Kohli made a promotional tweet for a brand Wrogn.
There was a video in the tweet that was posted with caption, “When you want it all Wrogn, there is only one place to get them. Visit http://wrogn.in and #StayWrogn #ShopNow @StayWrogn”.

U just promoted the brand in very wrong time. It's the time when India is Mourning the passing away of its great Statesman, you the leader of one of the sports beloved by billions wants to promote a brand. 🙏🙏🙏 God give some sense to you.

Yeh sirf paisa kamana chahta hai. Chahe jaise v aaye, jis trh v aaye. Izzat sab bech chuka hai. India k former PM nahi rahe and yeh.. sharam aati hai ki yeh mitti aise logo ko v janam deti hai. Ek van chalane wala bhi aj udaas hoga and yeh banda Wrogn, Uber falana. Sharam aati h.
