In the world of social media, all your actions are scrutinised and errors if any, aren’t spared. To commemorate the 125th birth anniversary celebrations of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the President of India Ram Nath Kovind, unveiled a portrait of the freedom fighter at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. The President’s official Twitter handle had posted images from the function.
Now, it turns out that the portrait unveiled by the President was not of the real Subhas Chandra Bose, but of actor Prosenjit Chatterjee who played Netaji in the Bengali film Gumnaami, which was directed by Srijit Mukherjee. Netizens were shocked to know this and expressed their displeasure. Some posted hilarious memes. Here’s a look at some of the tweets:

In a past interview with Scroll.in, Prosenjit has spoken about his approach. He had said, “I do not do things just because they seem to be trendy. I do not react to changes. I am more for a methodical, pre-planned approach. I am the person who was driving commercial films when the budget was Rs 14-15 lakhs. Now, my films are made on a budget of Rs five crores. That is a huge journey.”
He had added, “I have always believed in maintaining my brand equity even as I experiment. That does not mean I will do something that goes against my grain. I know I cannot stop time. It is important to set the trend, achieve something and move on, leaving the field for younger actors. I cannot dance around trees at my age. But I continue with mainstream commercial films.”
