We all have seen Bollywood actress, Alia Bhatt putting up a show of her ignorance of current affairs on one of the most popular talk shows ‘Koffee With Karan’, where Alia couldn’t tell the name of President of India. Though Alia embraced her lack of knowledge with grace and actually tried redeeming herself on the same talk show next time, netizens couldn’t forget the hilarious moment.
Now a new member has been added to the list. Any guesses? No, no one from the Bollywood industry. This time the name popped up from Cricket fraternity and it’s the Former South African Cricketer Herschelle Gibbs.
It all started when Gibbs tweeted “have a good one folks” inspired by the tweeting morning birds, which was liked by the Twitter itself drawing a happy reaction from the Cricketer.
Morning 👋 birds are tweeting so I’ll do the same and say have a good one folks😆

While showing his excitement, Gibbs shared a GIF and guess who was featured on it. Yes, our own Alia Bhatt. In the GIF, Alia can be seen expressing a heart touching moment which was used by the sportsman to show his gratitude to Twitter.

Soon Gibbs post started receiving comments from the fans asking whether he knows Alia Bhatt, to which the player replied, “I have no idea who the lady is ”.
The moment Gibbs found out Alia is a famous Bollywood star, he tagged her in his post appreciating her GIF.

Well, the banter did not end here. Gibbs, who is the first batsman to hit six consecutive sixes in One Day Internationals (ODI) match format, immediately replied to the actor that he only deals in sixes.
