The Internet is a cruel place! And it is an established fact. Billiards player Pankaj Advani posted a congratulatory tweet to Narendra Modi for being declared the best Prime Minister in the world by UNESCO.
Advani, an Arjuna Award winner, actually fell for a fake news which was doing rounds on WhatsApp and other social networking sites that UNESCO declared Modi as the best PM.
Once Advani’s tweet spread like a wildfire, all he received was trolls from Twitterati. Some were of the view that Advani’s verified account will now be unverified for sharing such a fake news.

However, once Advani came to know about the fake news, he did not delete his tweet. Instead, the 30-year-old went ahead and tweeted something that will make you think hard. Advani was of the view that whenever he makes his country proud there is hardly anyone who takes notice.
I know I got my facts wrong but this apparently gets more attention than when I win a WORLD TITLE!! https://t.co/vWeBwdeuaO
The 15-time World Billiards and Snooker Champion may have been trolled but at the end of the day he had a point to prove. He never got the attention he deserved, but a mere ignorance from his side and everyone was after him. He was in the news for other reasons.
