Vivek Oberoi trolled over tweet on India's World Cup exit
Mumbai, July 12: Actor Vivek Anand Oberoi, who often gets into trouble for his posts on social media, has once again got slammed by netizens.
Vivek on Friday took to Twitter and posted a GIF for India cricket team's fans.
In the GIF, an Indian fan is seen walking down the street thinking a lady walking towards him is about to hug him. Instead, the lady goes on to hug another man walking behind him.
"This is what happened to Indian fans in the World Cup semi finals! World Cup semi final. India Vs New Zealand," Vivek tweeted his GIF, in context to India''s defeat in the World Cup 2019 semifinal match against New Zealand.
However, Vivek's tweet did not go down well with a section of social media users.
One user wrote: "Mr. Oberoi, be mature otherwise people will always take you lightly."
Another netizen requested him to show respect to Team India: "At least they fought for the nation and reached the semi finals not like you who's just getting knocked out with every flop movie. Show some respect to team india."
Yet another Twitter user wrote: "And the same thing happened to you while chasing your career aspirations. Let me know if any of ur films crossed Rs 50 crore profit mark. I would love to watch."
The "Masti" actor received major backlash on social media during exit polls in May this year, when he shared a distasteful meme on actors Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan and Salman Khan.

Need to create jobs to restore peace among communities in Dakshina Kannada: DK Shivakumar
Puttur: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Saturday emphasised the need for job creation to restore peace among communities in the coastal and interior regions of Dakshina Kannada.
He made this remark while highlighting the growing concerns over communal disturbances and economic challenges in these areas.
Shivakumar also announced plans for a separate tourism policy aimed at fostering employment in these areas.
Speaking at the "Ashok Jan-Man" saree distribution event organised by MLA Ashok Rai's Rai Estates and Educational and Charitable Trust here, the Deputy Chief Minister highlighted the pressing issues faced by Dakshina Kannada district.

"Dakshina Kannada is becoming a barren land, with educational institutions no longer attracting students from outside due to communal tensions and other issues. Many local banks have disappeared, forcing our youth to seek employment in Saudi Arabia, Mumbai, and Bengaluru," he said.
Shivakumar has urged local leaders to prioritise job creation.
"This region is home to numerous temples and boasts a beautiful coastline, making it ideal for a distinct tourism policy. Despite having the largest port, Mangaluru lacks quality five-star hotels," he said.
He praised Rai for his dedication to Puttur's development, stating, "Numerous plans are in place for Puttur's growth, but I cannot disclose them now due to the upcoming by-elections."
He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to support Rai, adding, "Like Purandara Dasa's song, this is a moment of fortune to meet all sections of society in Puttur without any political bias."
Shivakumar reaffirmed the government's commitment to support Rai's educational and charitable initiatives, emphasising the importance of remembering one's roots.
"The memory of our mothers is the source of love, the memory of our teachers is the source of knowledge, and the memory of devotion is the source of divinity," he said.
"By 2028, with the blessings of Panchalingeshwara in Puttur, the Congress party will return to power to serve the people of the state. We do not win with mere words but with heartfelt connections," Shivakumar added.
