However, the leading news channel, Times Now misquoted the filmmaker and tweeted that Madhur Bandarkar remembering Shashi Tharoor. Check out the image of the tweet below:

Thanks to the typo-error done by the news channel, Madhur was being trolled. Later the portal apologised for the same, and Madhur too tweeted, “I had expressed my sincere condolences for #ShashiKapoor ji and had not mentioned @ShashiTharoor as I can precisely differentiate between the two individuals. The typo error was by @TimesNow for which they have already apologized so please stop tagging me.”

‘Eat Sleep Bollywood Repeat’ is his life Mantra. Dance is his first love and Rani Mukerji is his eternal crush. He is someone who loves being himself, and as for the ones who don’t agree, his reply? “Talk to my hand!”
