Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt, who has been rebuked in the past for her lack of awareness on topical issues, made yet another blooper on social media.

In a mark of solidarity with the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act that have been rocking the country, Alia Bhatt on December 17, posted a picture of the Preamble to the Constitution of India on Instagram.

While her emotions might have been upheld just fine, netizens were quick to point out that the actor shared an image of the wrong Preamble on her official social media handle.

The one that Alia shared read: India is a “sovereign democratic republic” and talked about the “unity of the nation”. However, it was tweaked by our former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to “Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, Republic” and mentioned the “unity and integrity of the nation”.

Alia Bhatt googles "Preamble", and uses the first picture that she could find.

She doesn't even know that this is the original Preamble, which doesn't have the words "Secular" and "Socialist", the ideals that they claim to be protecting. pic.twitter.com/ag9tkshEuC — Akankasha Kesar (@kesar_akankasha) December 17, 2019
