While expressing grief over the demise of Kalam, who passed away on
Monday, Anushka spelt the Missile Man's name incorrectly on
micro-blogging site Twitter.
"Very sad to hear about the passing of ABJ Kalam Azad.
Loss of an inspiring visionary and a wonderful soul. May his soul
RIP," she had posted on Twitter while paying tribute to the former
President.
Anushka realised her mistake soon and tried to rectify it, but in
vain. She got the name wrong again. She deleted her previous tweets and
got the renowned defence scientist's name right only in the third
attempt.
The 27-year-old personality faced the wrath of Twitteraties for the slip-up.
"It was an honest mistake. My intention...my feelings can't be
misconstrued. But I know with what intention I was writing," Anushka
told reporters at an event here this evening.
The 'NH 10' actress hit back at social media users who lambasted her over the error, dubbing them "cowards".
"I don't want to pay attention to cowards who hide behind computer
screens...with fake names. If you want to say things come and say it on
my face," Anushka said.
