Strange things are going on… From uploading shoe picture and gibberish to liking tweets I haven’t even read and would never even acknowledge.‘Please bear with me and I apologize for any inconvenience. Sorting it out asap.But it seems damage has already been done as one user called Karan ‘snake’.‘An open enemy is better than a false friend. Beware… He is a snake.’Another user urged everyone to ‘boycott’ Karan’s movies. (IANS)
