Shashi Kapoor passed away today in Mumbai. He was 79 and was suffering from prolonged illness. Social Media and news channels are flooded with the reports of Shashi Kapoor’s demise. Amidst all the condolences, Times Now has made an unforgivable blooper on Twitter.
The typo happened in which instead of writing Shashi Kapoor the channel tweeted Shashi Tharoor.

And Shashi Tharoor was quick to respond.
We're getting condolence calls in the office! Reports of my demise are, if not exaggerated, at least premature. @TimesNow #ShashiKapoor https://t.co/nbtZGcdQTa
