India entered day three of the nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of deadly novel coronavirus in the country, the wife of Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Friday slammed the "media houses" for publishing "false news at sensitive times like these." But Sakshi didn't specify what's the misinformation.
Sakshi shared a strongly-worded tweet, which read: "I request all media houses to stop carrying out false news at sensitive times like these ! Shame on You ! I wonder where responsible journalism has disappeared !"
The post left fans confused, with many asking what really happened. But some did manage to come up with a seemingly relatable piece of information which might have upset Sakshi.
