Farhan Akhtar faces backlash on Twitter after urging Bhopal electorate to cast vote a week later: 'Is this for 2024?'
Farhan Akhtar's tweet urging Bhopal electorate to vote has garnered brickbats from the Twitterati for coming a week after the polls
Farhan Akhtar has become the subject of intense trolling across social media after the actor-director urged Bhopal cast their votes today on Twitter, to save their city from another "full-of-gas tragedy." The problem with the post was that Bhopal electorate cast its vote a week before, on 12 May.
