Veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin recently found himself dismayed after realizing that he responded to a tweet from a parody account impersonating Janhvi Kapoor on social media.

He inadvertent blunder garnered attention from users on X platform when the parody account praised Ashwin and the cricketer replied to the tweet. It's puzzling how Ashwin overlooked the obvious indication in the username, clearly marking it as a parody account, as he engaged in the conversation. Screenshots capturing the amusing exchange have swiftly spread across social media platforms, eliciting laughter from netizens.

The 37-year-old then replied with "Hey Janhvi" along with a couple of heart-eye emojis. A user on X going by the name "cheers to life" then pointed out to Ashwin that the account wasn't Janhvi's authentic one, leaving the Tamil Nadu cricketer feeling disheartened. "Omg. Is that so? I am" he wrote with a heartbreak emoji.   Contrary to assumptions, Ashwin was fully aware that he was engaging with a parody account and was simply seeking to enjoy a playful exchange with the user. "U shouldn't say it, cos it says parody and the fun is to interact as if you are real," Ashwin later wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
