Alia Bhatt might be one of the biggest Bollywood stars of today’s generation but former South African cricketer Herschelle Gibbs doesn’t know who she is. On Sunday, the cricketer posted a status that read, “Morning, birds are tweeting so I'll do the same and say have a good one folks,” which was liked by Twitter’s official account. Delighted by Twitter’s reaction Gibbs replied by using a GIF featuring Alia Bhatt while being completely unaware of who she is.
When a Twitter user asked him, “Do you know Alia?” the cricketer humbly replied, "I have no idea who the lady is." Soon Gibbs got a lesson on Alia’s popularity from her diehard fans, after which Gibbs tagged Alia and wrote, “Didn't know you were an actress but nice GIF." Take a look at the tweets below:
