Celebrities reaching out to one another on Twitter is not exactly new. While it often leads to friendly banter, sometimes things can take an ugly turn. Recently, something similar happened when singer Adnan Sami and former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah got involved in a rather ugly brawl on social media.
The Pakistani-origin musician and singer was recently in Srinagar for his Rhythm in Paradise concert that was held at the lawns of Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Centre on the banks of the Dal Lake on October 7. However, trouble started when someone posted a picture of empty chairs from the concert on Twitter implying that it was was not attended well. “Empty seats at Adnan Sami Concert and we are past the scheduled Start time. PR disaster for JK govt led by Mehbooba Mufti,” Inayat Jehangir posted.
Retweeting the picture, Abdullah wrote, “That’s a real pity. I hope people have filled those seats now. For an evening they can let the music transport them to a more peaceful place.” This, however, did not go down very well with Sami who then replied, “Bro ur a former CM..U shouldn’t be so unnerved by a music concert. U obviously have bad sources who lie 2 U – HERE are d photos!!” and things just escalated after that.
