Bombay Velvet actress Anushka Sharma, who was trolled on social media after she she wrongly wrote A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s name while paying respects to the former president on Twitter, on Wednesday termed it an “honest mistake”.

“My intentions were not bad and I had good intentions. It was a human error and humans do make mistakes,” she said at a promotional event.

Sharma got her tweet wrong not once, but twice, before finally getting it right in the third attempt. First, she called him “ABJ Abdul Kalam Azad’, and then made it “APJ Abdul Kalam Azad” before finally, the right name: APJ Abdul Kalam. She had subsequently deleted the tweet but it couldn’t escape the scrutiny of Twitteratti.

Surprisingly, actor Farhan Akhtar also made the error of adding Azad to Kalam’s name while giving his tribute which wasn’t trolled as much as Sharma.
