Javed Akhtar is the latest celebrity to draw flak from Twitterati. The popular lyricist/screenwriter recently shared his grief on Twitter after hearing the news of singer Girija Devi’s demise. Although, there was nothing wrong in the tweet, except for a typo error; tweet peeps were quick to react.

Akhtar had initially written, “Girija Devi was not only a great classical sinner but a national treasurer. We are poorer without her.”
