A few days back, Zaheer Khan had broken the news of his engagement with Sagarika Ghatge. While wishing the couple, Anil Kumble had tagged the wrong Sagarika (Ghose). All did go well with Sagarika Ghose who took the congratulatory tweets sportingly. However, the case was not the same with Kambli. The tweet started off by an account named ‘TweetErrant’ who tagged Vinod Kambli instead of Vinod Khanna. One of the fans reminded him of the post and got it deleted with immediate effect. Meanwhile, some started paying tribute to the cricketer instead. After being tagged on numerous posts, Kambli hit out at the troll considering it as an insensitive act.

He tagged the account and mentioned, “@TweetErrant.Shame on you people n who so ever have tweeted about Vinod khanna’s death n tagged my name in their tweets. Have some. Continue.” Kambli’s second tweet mentioned, “@TweetErrant .respect for Vinod Khanna. A versatile Actor and who so ever had tweeted abt me. God will surely punished you.”

However, ‘TweetErrant’ realised his mistake and later apologised for the error made. But it was too late as Kambli had blocked the user by then.
