| Report adds a bit of Sanjay and Rega to the ongoing Tanmay Bhatt saga Twitter pic |
May 31, 2016, NewsCrunch
The ongoing saga of Tanmay Bhatt's Sachin-Lata spoof video took an unexpected turn on Tuesday morning with Mumbai Mirror reporting that he had found a pillar of support in his longtime girl friend Rega Jha, editor of Indian edition of Buzz Feed.
The paper also identified Rega as daughter of Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha.
The report drew quick and witty rebuttal from Sanjay, who said Rega was as much his daughter as Rahul Gandhi was Mahatma Gandhi's son.
Mirror also quickly tweeted an apology for getting it wrong.
So, the Mirror stands by the part on Rega Jha and Tanmay Bhatt. It had headlined the diary item Conscientious coupling and noted that the "...flame between them burns bright fuelled by a commitment to common causes."
All of this made for some continued trolling time on Twitter.
We erroneously mentioned that @RegaJha is the daughter of Congress spokesman @JhaSanjay.We were misinformed and profusely apologize to them.— Mumbai Mirror (@MumbaiMirror) May 31, 2016
Announced in public interest: Rega Jha is as much my daughter as Rahul Gandhi is son of Mahatma Gandhi.#tanmaybhatt— Sanjay Jha (@sanjayjha44) May 31, 2016
Rega Jha being @JhaSanjay's daughter sounds as likely as Lalit Modi being Narendra Modi's son.— SamSays (@samjawed65) May 31, 2016
