It’s a lesson that Shobhaa De has learnt now on Twitter – not to mess with sports lovers, and more importantly, not to tweet about something when there is a slight chance of it backfiring. While people have seen controversial tweets from Shobhaa De before, this is something on a whole new level.
"Goal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao. Selfies lo. Khaali haat wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity," was what she said.
Unfortunately, the tweet backfired. Because she got trolled again. Like immediately. There are like-minded athletes on Twitter who represented India some time or the other and as soon as the news reached the athletes, they blasted out in the most epic way.

2. Mahesh Bhupathi
3. Viren Rasquinha
4. Jwala Gutta
5. Somdev Devvarman
6. Heena Sidhu
Twitter you beautiful, beautiful beast!
