Former India batter Dinesh Karthik recently left the internet in splits with his witty response to a fan who mistakenly congratulated him for a Bollywood film. The amusing incident unfolded on the social media platform X, where a user confused Karthik with popular Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey and praised him for his role in the movie "Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba." Karthik, known for his light-hearted and humorous nature, took the confusion in stride and responded with a playful, “Oh wow!!! Thanks,” which quickly gained traction online, earning him even more love from his fans.

Witty reaction on social media

The film in question, "Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba," stars Vikrant Massey, who has been in the spotlight following the success of his recent movie "12th Fail." The striking resemblance between Massey and Karthik has been a subject of online banter for quite some time, and this latest incident only fueled the meme fest. Karthik’s humorous engagement with his fans has further solidified his reputation as a social media favorite.
