MUMBAI MIRROR (December 15, 2016)

Kriti Sanon inadvertently fuelled a very serious discussion recently on a microblogging website when a picture of her dressed in a gown made out of the newly launched Rs 2000 notes started doing the rounds of various social media.

While many users rightly debated the authenticity of the picture, their less reasonable counterparts didn’t waste time in checking the veracity of the picture, proceeding to make fun of the unsuspecting actress. “When you hit an ATM that has only Rs 2000 notes,” a Twitter user remarked.

Soon enough, the 26-year-old got a whiff of the development and promptly went on to call out the trolls.

“I think it’s the tiny brains that take this PS (Photoshop) magic for real,” she tweeted in response to a particularly curious fan.

The Raabta actress went on to share the original picture of the dress, a tad ill-fitted two-tone number.

Turns out, the actress had worn the Manish Malhotra creation for the 2016 Umang Police Show that is held in January every year. When Mirror contacted Kriti’s spokesperson, they confirmed that it was a fake image, and wondered why anyone would go to such lengths to troll the actress. Well, our guess is as good as theirs!
