Ranveer Singh’s Social Media Blunder: Maldives Picture Creates Stir In Lakshadweep Tourism Promotion

In the midst of rising tensions between India and the Maldives due to a controversial tweet by a Maldives minister regarding the Lakshadweep Islands, Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh found himself in a social media fiasco. Singh had joined several celebrities and cricketers to express solidarity with Lakshadweep and encourage tourism to the islands.

The Promotion Gone Awry

Singh took to X (formerly Twitter) to urge his fans to explore Lakshadweep and experience India’s culture. However, a major blunder occurred as he shared a picture of the Maldives alongside the post, sparking criticism and trolling from social media users.

Social Media Backlash

Numerous users pointed out the mistake, with some humorously noting that Singh was using a Maldives picture to promote Lakshadweep. The 38-year-old actor faced trolling and criticism for the misleading post.

Damage Control: Post Deletion

Acknowledging the error, Ranveer Singh promptly deleted the post and shared another on the microblogging website, this time without any image. The move aimed at rectifying the misleading promotion and redirecting the focus back to Lakshadweep.

Celebrities and Cricketers Promoting Domestic Tourism

Singh’s gaffe occurred on the same day when other prominent figures like Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan, Salman Khan, and cricketers Sachin Tendulkar, Venkatesh Prasad, and Virender Sehwag urged people to explore domestic islands rather than the Maldives.

Escalation of Controversy

Meanwhile, the diplomatic row between India and the Maldives escalated, leading to the suspension of three Maldivian ministers whose social media posts against India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi triggered public outrage. The controversy originated when a Maldives minister accused India of targeting the nation, claiming that India faced challenges in competing with the Maldives in beach tourism.

Ranveer Singh’s inadvertent use of a Maldives picture in his promotion of Lakshadweep tourism became a talking point in the ongoing controversy. As social media users continue to share their opinions, the incident highlights the delicate nature of international relations, even in the realm of celebrity endorsements and tourism promotion.
