Internet is no less than a mine of knowledge but at the same time, there’s no dearth of hoax and fake posts which go viral at a fast pace and even after they are declared as fake, they start doing rounds after some time, misleading netizens.
Undoubtedly, posts by celebrities grab much attention and therefore, it’s quite important that they become more careful and make proper research before sharing anything with their fans and followers or else they have to face wrath and mockery on social media. And the same happened with Bollywood diva Shraddha Kapoor.
Shraddha took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and shared a pic which she thought to be of Indian army with caption, “They freeze to make sure that we are warm. They protect to make sure that we feel safe. Can never thank you Jawaans enough.”
Here’s her tweet:

In actual fact, this photo is of Russian army instead of Indian army and Twitterati didn’t forgive Shraddha for this big mistake. Here are few selected tweets:
Here’s the truth:

Being a celebrity, show some responsibility before tweeting:
Being a celebrity u should verify the pics or video before sharing with ur fanbase on social media. The following pic is fake. Already exposed it 1 year ago. This pic is of Russian soldiers. Please be responsible @ShraddhaKapoor @SMHoaxSlayer https://t.co/8sExdV7SPo

We do respect our soldiers:
Although we have utmost respect admiration for our soldiers, this is a fake pic going viral. It is of Russian soldiers.
