Piers Morgan trolled for tweet on India's medal celebrations

August 24, 2016 20:01

British journalist Piers Morgan created a mass outrage today after he shamed India for celebrating it's meagre olympic medal tally.

In reply to a tweet from an Indian that mentioned how the two medallists Sakshi Malik and PV Sindhu were welcomed in India, Morgan commented: "Country with 1.2 billion people wildly celebrates 2 losing medals. How embarrassing is that?"

And then all hell broke loose as the 51-year-old TV personality started getting trolled.

Even Suhel Seth and Chetan Bhagat responded to his tweet.

"What is even more embarrassing are your snivelling interviews as if you had a diaper in your mouth. Sad, said Seth, to which, Morgan responded, At least youll never have to worry about being one of my interviewees, Suhel. I only interview famous people."

Cricketer Virender Sehwag too didn't spare Morgan. He tweeted: "We cherish every small happiness', But Eng who invented Cricket,&yet2win a WC,still continue to playWC.Embarrassing?"

In fact, Morgan got trolled so much, he tried to redeem himself sarcastically saying: Indian Twitter definitely wins Gold at trolling. If only their athletes were as skilled."
