Mumbai, Aug 18: Shobha De, a well-known writer and columnist, has become the latest victim, who faced stern criticism from the great fans of Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi.

Shobha De was trolled on micro-blogging site Twitter after her tweet, in which she asked Modi-followers not to refer the Prime Minister as "rockstar".

She said that Modi is not from Bollywood, hence, he should not be referred as a "rockstar". Shobha De's statement did not go well with the Modi-bhakts.

During his 2-day visit to UAE, Modi was called a "rockstar". More than 50,000 people gathered to see Modi when he attend the 'Marhaba NaMo' ceremony, which was organised especially for him in Dubai on Monday, Aug 17.
