Bollywood actor and director Farhan Akhtar is getting brutally trolled on social media for his viral tweet (now deleted) on India’s hockey team.
Well, India’s Men’s Hockey Team ended their long wait of 41 years for an Olympic medal in men’s hockey. On Thursday, the Indian hockey team won the bronze medal at Tokyo Olympics by defeating Germany 5-4 at the Oi Hockey Stadium — North Pitch. Manpreet Singh and his team gave a stellar performance to bring Hockey back to the spotlight.
Soon social media was flooded with congratulatory messages coming in from all the corners for our Indian hockey team. From celebrities, cricketers to fans around the nation, everyone took to their social media to express their happiness on the victory.
Among many, Bollywood actor-director Farhan Akhtar also joined the bandwagon, however, in his tweet, he congratulated the Indian Women’s Hockey Team instead of the Men’s Hockey Team for winning a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. He wrote:
“Go Girls!!! So proud of #teamIndia for showing exemplary fighting spirit and bringing in our 4th medal..super stuff. #Tokyo2020 #Hockey,”
Here, check out the Tweet:
The tweet soon caught the attention of twitterati, who started trolling him. Later, as soon as he realized his mistake, Akhtar deleted that tweet and posted another tweet where he congratulated the Men’s hockey team, who won an Olympic medal for India. He wrote:
“So proud of #teamIndia for showing exemplary fighting spirit and bringing in our 4th medal .. super stuff. #Tokyo2020 #Hockey.”

Farhan Akhtar is a time traveller. Therefore, sometimes he recommends to something which is already happened in the past and sometimes he predicts the future. pic.twitter.com/UKBY1KgiE1
