It was actor Aamir Khan's birthday but he got all the wishes on Twitter. Here’s why
Actor Aamir Khan celebrated his birthday on March 14.
Aamir Khan celebrated his birthday on March 14. Expectedly many took to Twitter to wish “Happy Birthday” to the actor. Some also tagged him using the handle name @thereal_aamirk while sharing their wishes – not knowing that the profile belongs to someone else. People who tagged that handle unknowingly sent a wave of wishes to a journalist associated with Bar and Bench who shares his name with the star. What has now created a chatter and left people chuckling is the clarification tweet that the journalist shared. There is a chance that it will make you giggle too.
“Thanks for all the wishes, on the birthday of actor Aamir Khan, who is NOT on @Twitter,” he wrote. In case you’re unaware, last year on his birthday the actor announced that he is quitting social media. He also added that the official Twitter handle of his production house will stay active.
Take a look at the post shared by the journalist who tweeted about the mistaken identity:
The post, since being shared a day ago, has gathered more than 11,000 likes and the numbers are only increasing. The tweet has also been re-tweeted more than 600 times. People shared various comments while reacting to the tweet.
This person reacted by sharing a scene from the film Hungama:
“Haha... Advance wishes samajh lo Khan Sahab,” joked another. To which, Khan replied, “My notifications haven't seen so much activity, ever.”
“Twitterati be like,” posted another and shared this scene from a Roadies spoof video:
