Bollywood stars Shilpa Shetty and Taapse Pannu made a goof-up while wishing her fans on the 72nd Republic Day today. Shilpa mixed up Republic Day with Independence day and wrote 'swatantra' (Freedom) in her tweet. The actress got trolled by netizens after she confused the word 'Gantantra' (republic) with 'Swatantra' (freedom). On the 72nd Republic Day of India, the 45-year-old actor took to Twitter to extend warm wishes to her fans and followers. The tweet, in which she used the word 'swatantra', instead of 'gantantra' (republic), went viral in no time. Although she later corrected her tweet, but the damage was already done.
On the other hand, Taapsee went 71st instead of 72nd while extending heartfelt wish on Republic Day. The actress also later rectified her mistake, but netizens were quick enough to point out the error. On the work front, Shilpa is all set to make her comeback on the silver screen with Hungama 2. Meanwhile, Taapsee will soon be seen in Rashmi Rocket. Earlier Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Kangana Ranaut, A.R. Rahman, among several others had also wished their followers on Instagram and Twitter. Republic Day is celebrated in India every year on 26 January to commemorate the day the Constitution of the nation came into effect. Though we gained independence on August 15, 1947, nascent India did not have its own laws which were drafted and finally adopted in the year 1950.
