Mika Singh recently became the subject of online ridicule after a serious misstep on social media. Due to a news post about filmmaker
Priyadarshan, Mika mistakenly believed the director had passed away and commented "Om Shanti," which is a traditional condolence message. The blunder quickly caught the attention of netizens, who were amused by the fact that the acclaimed director is very much alive and well.
Let’s take a closer look.
Mika Singh's 'Om Shanti' comment on a post about Priyadarshan makes him the target of trolls
A news outlet, AajTak, shared a story about the upcoming film 'Hera Pheri 3', starring
Akshay Kumar,
Suniel Shetty, and
Paresh Rawal, on its Instagram account. The report mentioned that this would be filmmaker Priyadarshan's last Bollywood project. Mika misinterpreted the news, assuming the "last project" implied a passing, and offered his condolences. This simple mistake ignited a wave of humorous and sarcastic replies from fans.
Here's how netizens reacted to his comment
The comment section of the post was filled with witty comebacks, with one user joking, "Paaji, peg sheg toh nai maar liya na, tussi chasma utaro." Another person quipped, "Paaji abhi shaam hua hai… aaj itna jaldi paaji." An individual posted, "Oh, zinda hain sir!" Last but not least, one gave the singer a piece of friendly advice: "Mika paaji, you still have time. Remove it."
However, the singer is yet to delete the comment on the post. Also, he has not addressed the confusion as of now.
