On May 13, the Pink actress Taapsee Pannu slammed the leading daily Times of India (ToI) on Twitter and the reason is valid. Each and every human will commit a mistake and this time, it’s the turn of ToI.
It was Sunny Leone’s birthday on May 13. While Sunny Leone celebrates her birthday, many leading dailies and web portals have been wishing her in different ways. As everyone sent wishes to her, the leading daily ToI tried to convey their wishes with an article regarding Sunny Leone by collecting some of her childhood photos and published it.
This made Taapsee Pannu react as the ToI has mistaken her childhood photo for that of actress Sunny Leone. While the pictures were set to celebrate Leone, ToI failed to verify one of its pictures and shared childhood picture of Taapsee instead.
Making light of the moment, Taapsee Pannu took to Twitter and slammed Times of India for mistaking her childhood photo with actress Sunny Leone.
Taapsee shared a screenshot of the article related to Sunny’s birthday and stated that it was bad research by the agency. She also playfully added that her birthday is on August 1.
A beautiful gesture @timesofindia but I’m still called Taapsee and my birthday is on 1st August. #MyPicture #BadResearch pic.twitter.com/LWcx5a1icH

1000s appealing pics of @SunnyLeone on the web, TOI chooses baby pics of the wrong woman. That is an unusual level of brain dead and pervy
