Actress Anushka Sharma has reacted to the Best Picture fiasco at the 89th edition of Oscar in a funny way, claiming that she tried to avert the goof-up.
Taking to Twitter on Thursday, the actress posted: “Yeh log mujhe sun nahin paye, main toh kab se Hindi mein keh rahi thi ki naam galat likha hai (These people couldn’t hear me only. I was telling them for a long time, in Hindi, that they got the name wrong.) Shashi was there.”
The post was part of a social media campaign called #ShashiWasHere to promote her forthcoming film “Phillauri” — in which she is essaying the role of a ghost, Shashi.
This year’s Oscars gala has drawn extensive coverage for a gaffe that saw presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway mistakenly naming “La La Land” as the Best Picture.
