Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa passed away last night leaving the whole state in shock and tears. Right from celebrities to political leaders, everyone took to social media to mourn her death and pay their condolences. Veteran actor Kamal Haasan who is known to have had a tiff in the past with the late Chief Minister regarding his movie ‘Vishwaroopam’, also took to Twitter to pay his condolences. However, being the unforgiving platform it is, most people did not take his tweet too well promptly lost their minds.

He wrote, “Deep condolences for all those who depend on her.” The moment he wrote this, people started criticizing him for the ‘insensitive’ comment.

@ikamalhaasan எவ்வளவு வஞ்சம் மனதில்? ஒருவரின் இறப்பில் தர்க்கம் அவசியமா! மரியாதை மல்லாக்கபடுத்தது

@ikamalhaasan You should have kept quiet instead of this bullshit tweet

@ikamalhaasan what's the point in being well learned if there is no decency. Shame I used to be a fan of yours.

Sarcasm or not, this was not the right time and definitely not the right place for Kamal Haasan to make such a statement.
