On Sunday, actress Athiya Shetty came under fire on the internet after reports that a picture of late Lata Mangeshkar was posted to her Instagram story when she was aiming to pay a tribute to Asha Bhosle after her death.
News of the alleged mix-up was first posted on the internet and was subsequently reposted on numerous social media sites with criticism. The story was later deleted after a furore had ensued over the image.
It is important to note that there is no confirmation from any official source about this story being posted, and the content has not yet been independently verified. This alleged story was unavailable to be seen on the actress's Instagram handle at the time of publishing, questioning the credibility of the screenshots that made their way around the web.
Nevertheless, the controversy of her mistake made its way around the web at a rapid pace, with people mocking what they believed to be her inability to tell apart two sisters, both legends of Indian cinema. Hours after the screenshots of the image had begun going viral, 'Athiya Shetty' had become a trending hashtag on Twitter.
