Mumbai, July 28 (IBNS): Netizens criticised Bollywood star Anushka Sharma after she misspelled the name of late Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam while posting her condolence message on micro-blogging site Twitter.

She called APJ Abdul Kalam as ABJ Kalam Azad.

"Very sad to hear about the passing of  ABJ Kalam Azad. Loss of an inspiring visionary and a wonderful soul. May his soul RIP," Sharma tweeted.

Later she deleted the post and retweeted: "Very sad to hear about the passing of APJ Abdul Kalam . Loss of an inspiring visionary and a wonderful soul .May his soul RIP."

Criticising her, actor Kamaal R Khan-KRK tweeted: "And see the 2nd tweet of educated intelligent @AnushkaSharma n 3rd time she was able to write correct name."
