Chandigarh, August 5

Actor Farhan Akhtar was on Thursday brutally trolled for wrongly congratulating the Indian women’s hockey team after men’s team won Olympic bronze medal after 41 years.

After Indian men’s hockey team won the match at Tokyo, Farhan Akhtar mistakenly congratulated the girls. He wrote: “Go girls!!! So proud of #teamIndia for showing exemplary fighting spirit and bringing in our 4th medal…super stuff.”

Farhan was brutally trolled for his gaffe, he soon deleted the tweet, and posted it without “go girls” part.

Take a look:

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
