However, 'Dream Girl Hema' is no stranger to gaffes like these on social media.
In April, she set Twitter on fire after she tweeted "Deepika, All good wishes on ur engagement! Pray God both of u have a bright future, happiness & joy in ur life together(sic)"

After more than an hour of fans losing their mind, thinking that the Deepika in question was actress Deepike Padukone, Hema clarified.
No no! This is Deepika who is following me on Twitter! Not Ms Padukone!

Two weeks before that, following the alleged suicide of TV actress Pratyusha Banerjee's, Malini in a series of tweets said:
"All these senseless suicides which achieve nothg! Life is God's gift forus to live not for us to take at will. We have no right to do that...One must learn to overcome all odds & emerge successful,not succumb under pressure & give up easily.The world admires a fighter not a loser"
She also said that the suicide "Just becomes food for the hungry media who chew on news like celebrity suicides until the next sensational news happens. Then it is forgotten."
Malini received a serious backlash for her tweets, with many people calling her insensitive.
She has also deleted those tweets since then.
