Words once spoken cannot be taken back, specially when you are a celebrity and your words go viral on social media.
Former cricketer S Sreesanth, who is contesting Kerala Assembly Elections from Thiruvananthapuram on Bhartiya Janta Party’s (BJP) ticket, landed in a soup when he called Kerala a city.
Sreesanth took to Twitter to share his vision of Kerala when he tweeted, “The change is must in Kerala Nd Iam sure It will happen this time..we can be worlds best city if we all work together.”
The Twitterati reacted immediately by giving him a geography lesson:
@sreesanth36 if Kerala is city than India must be state for u 😂😂😂 please hire someone who can write your tweets
