Yesterday, the country came together to celebrate the 75th year of its independence. The tricolor flag was hoisted at various important places and this year, at various homes, adhering to the Prime Minister’s ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign.

And among the scores of people who proudly posted pictures with the Indian flag on social media was Indian cricket team batsman Rohit Sharma. In the picture, Sharma was seen dressed in traditional attire, holding the flag.
The picture that he posted with the caption, ’75 years of independence. स्वतंत्रता दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं’ looks harmless until you dig in deep.

Well, people went Sherlock in this picture and zoomed in to find an error. They were eventually able to determine that Sharma’s photo was not clicked but photoshopped with the flag.
Photoshop 🤣 https://t.co/ePF2sQQFjz

And then came the troll police who gave him a hard time for photoshopping a picture with the Tiranga.
Attack me for saying this idc, but why do these stars need to photoshop these images? Is it difficult to click a single picture holding the Tiranga? https://t.co/Kpyq7rrInc

This is terrible edit 🥺 just hold a flag and get yourself clicked, would have saved some time but anyway. https://t.co/VfpXyuQMI9
