Description:
As technology advances, it's becoming much easier to spread misinformation and fake news online. Recently, a parody Twitter account titled qualiteaposts penned a tweet which implied that Prince Harry used to listen to Daler Mehndi as his music helped him go through a rough time.
Instead of picking up on the prank, Indian singer Mehndi fell victim to the false report and took to social media to innocently thank Prince Harry for tuning in to his upbeat music.
"I am grateful to the blessings of Guru Nanak and the support of my parents, which helped me create such a unique Pop Folk Ethnic music genre. Love you, Prince Harry! I'm so grateful that my music helped you," wrote the Dangal singer.
I am grateful to the blessings of Guru Nanak, my mom and dad, I created a unique Pop Folk Ethnic Music Style.
Love you Prince Harry! God Bless you, In gratitude that my music helped you.@TeamSussex pic.twitter.com/r2mRU0mn6U

Given Mehndi's naive response, Twitterati rushed to the comments sections of the post to take a dig at the musician.
"Oh my dear, what a betrayal! Pay no heed to it, you're the best anyways," shared a fan, while another requested his followers to tell Mehndi the truth. "Someone please tell him!" pleaded one user.

"This isn’t real for sure," playfully remarked one fan while another mocked the singer's gullibility, "Someone please find Mehndi’s drug dealer."
