It is common for people to mistake someone with similar names. This is more common on the social networking sites, where famous people are routinely mistaken as others. In a similar incident, politician Shashi Tharoor was taken by surprise.
It is known that Legendary Bollywood actor Shashi Kapoor passed away yesterday evening. Many people took to Twitter to express their condolences over the death of the famous actor. During this, many hash-tagged Shashi Tharoor who shares the same first name with the legendary actor.
Things took a different turn from thereon. Shashi Tharoor started receiving hundreds of calls, after his associates, family members and friends saw many people expressing condolences by hash-tagging him. Things became so worse that, Shashi Tharoor has to take his time-off and was forced to tweet stating that, ‘My office is receiving hundreds of phone calls from the morning. I am not hurt by the news of my death. Instead, I am very happy that this brought a smile on my face even during this inconsolable situation on the loss of the legendary actor Shashi Kapoor.’
Shashi Tharoor later expressed his deep condolences over the death of Shashi Kapoor. Another reason for the false death alarm being raised on Shashi Tharoor is that he has been suffering from Cold and Cough due to the Ockhi Cyclone in Kerala. His office staff was panicked after they received hundreds of calls inquiring about his health.
