The entire Akhtar family, during Mumbai’s polling phase, went on to cast their votes and fulfilled their duty of being the responsible citizens of India. Well, all of them, including Farhan Akhtar, Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi, have been quite vocal about their political opinions. So much that, on Sunday, Farhan Akhtar made a major goof-up while trying to appeal the people of Bhopal to vote. Taking to his Twitter account, the Rock On actor asked Bhopal to cast their vote today i.e., on Sunday.
Have a look at Farhan Akhtar’s tweet here:
Dear electorate of Bhopal, it’s time for you to save your city from another full-of-gas tragedy. #SayNoToPragya #SayNoToGodse #RememberTheMahatma#ChooseLoveNotHate— Farhan Akhtar (@FarOutAkhtar) May 19, 2019
However, the only issue was that the people of Bhopal have already exercised this right on May 12, last week. In his tweet, Farhan requested the residents of Bhopal to not to vote for Pragya Singh Thakur and save their city from ‘another full-of-gas tragedy’. Apart from the incorrect timing, Farhan Akhtar’s comment on the Bhopal gas tragedy didn’t go down well with a lot of netizens. While some trolled the singer-turned-actor for misguiding his followers, a lot of them bashed him for making a pun on India’s one of the biggest tragedies. Here’s how Twitterati reacted to the Dil Dhadakne Do actor’s tweet.
One of the users called it attention seeking stunt:

A user asked, “Is this for 2024 Elections?”
This is for 2024 ???🙄🙄— 𝐆𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐚 (Blue Tick) (@onesided_hai) May 19, 2019
Now, it is unclear as to this was intentional or unintentional, but a little fact-check might have saved you, Farhan!
