Ahead of India’s 75th Independence Day, Shah shared a picture with an Indian flag. The actor shared the picture of himself posing with the flag claiming that the flag was from 1942.However, the internet was not convinced and the actor was roasted for sharing wrong information.

Shah tweeted, "The very same TIRANGA DHWAJ my mother had got during Quit India Movement 1942."

"This version of the flag was adopted in 1947...in 1942 it was the INC flag with...spinning wheel," a user wrote. "

A little bit of research...would've saved you the embarrassment of being proven wrong," another commented.
