People on Twitter have a long history of just reading the first half of something and then just blindly writing about it. First it was the confusion between Snapchat and Snapdeal, then Sonu Sood got caught up in the whole Sony Nigam drama. Oh, or maybe the most recent one when Anil Kumble congratulated journalist Sagarika Ghose, instead of Sagarika Ghatge on her engagement with Zaheer Khan.

This mix up has been happening on Twitter way too frequently these days, and this recent one could be considered rather insensitive. After the passing away of legendary actor Vinod Khanna, a lot of people paid tribute to him on Twitter. But, some people accidentally tagged Vinod Kambli in obituary posts instead of Vinod Khanna.

It all started with one Twitter user who wrongly tagged Vinod Kambli while expressing his condolences. He deleted the original tweet after his stupid and obvious mistake was pointed out. 

Bhai vinod khanna not kambli https://t.co/mxBae6h00d

But he wasn’t the only one! I actually can’t decide if these are genuine or not.

I don’t know what would be worse – people actually mistaking Vinod Kambli for Vinod Khanna or people tagging Vinod Kambli on purpose to make a joke out of someone’s death. 

Even Vinod Kambli got fed up with such tweets. He took to Twitter to fend off these trolls.

This was definitely not the right time for such a mix-up.
