Sidharth Malhotra trolled for insensitive tweet on Haryana
Sidharth Malhotra, whose film ‘A Gentleman’ released today, is making headlines but for all the wrong reasons. The actor tweeted a touching tweet for those in Haryana, urging them to stay safe, but he also promoted his film in the same message which sparked a negative reaction from his followers.
To all the people of Haryana , please stay safe. Hope you can see our film soon #Agentleman #PeaceAndLove

Malhotra’s tweet was insensitive because, in Haryana, there have been deaths following protests to do with Indian spritual leader Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s rape conviction earlier today. Some of the backlash were people calling for a boycott of his film.
Malhotra tweeted a while later:
Its really sad to see the situation worsen since morning and see people in Punjab and Haryana https://t.co/u8TeWwEaW0 and prayers.
