After a few more embarrassing tweets, Shashi Tharoor's clarifying message arrived, "Sorry folks, my @Twitter account has been hacked & will be temporarily deactivated. Bear with me while we solve this."

Mehr Tarar's Twitter account was flooded with tweets from followers and others, who demanded clarification from her. "I never said my account was hacked. These tweets from Dr Tharoor's account reached me just as they reached you. NOT funny, people.", tweeted an upset Mehr.

The embarrassing set of tweets also had reference to Tharoor's wife Sunanda Pushkar. "@mehrtarar sadly my wife @sptvrock who gave up everything for me found out about my affair with u Mehr Shashi. I'm not crying any more. I'm not falling to pieces. I'm more lucid than ever. How little I knew you became visible to me", said one of the tweets.

Sunanda Pushkar had also claimed that her Twitter account was hacked on Jan 4, after tweets criticizing BJP leader Subramanian Swamy appeared on her account.
