It was meant to be a joke to be taken in the right spirit. Or so Sonakshi Sinha thought.
Pakistani fans who follow her Twitter account, pulled her up when she uploaded a morphed photo of an Indian batsman hitting their captain Shahid Afridi with a bat.
Calling the picture 'De Ghumaake', she expected her followers to be amused. But no sooner did the photo go viral, there were a string of abuses from across-the-border fans asking for the picture to be removed.
Sinha later issued an apology stating, "Pak fans very upset. Jung ke maidan mein ladne se toh accha hi hai khel ke maidan mein ladein! I am all for 'love thy neighbour'. Be a sport, yaar".
