Milind Soman made a ‘mistake’ on social media while congratulating wrestler Priya Malik, but the actor is brave enough to admit it. Immediately after Milind posted a tweet on Priya Malik, social media users fact-checked him, following which the 55-year-old actor apologised on Twitter, but refused to delete his first incorrect post. Thank you Priya Malik! #gold #TokoyoOlympics #wrestling welcome to Mt Olympus Kindly google little and find out in which world sporting event she won... It's not mandatory to post congratulatory tweet without knowing about it Sir it's world wrestling championship and not Olympic... It is held in Hungary...fyi World wrestling championship not Olympics. Double- check whether it is Tokyo Olympics or World Wrestling championship .. pic.twitter.com/aTKKu5hsn6 Dear sir its not Olympic medal.. its cadet championship She didn't win Gold in the Olympics. It's the World Wrestling Championships. She's won World Wrestling Championship, not in Olympics.Congratulations to her anyways,.. we are proud of her Sir check yr information then post. World Wrestling Championship Hungary Sorry, should have checked before my earlier tweet, but was too overcome with joy Priya Malik won Gold at the World wrestling Championships ! Onwards and upwards I know now, still happy :) and I won't delete the tweet, sometimes its ok to make a mistake It so happened that Priya Malik won the gold medal in 73 kg world title at the Cadet World Championships in Budapest on July 22. However, a post went viral in the meantime claiming that Priya Malik has won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
