Bangalore, Oct 11: A day after Pakistani child activist Malala Yousafzai received the Nobel Peace Prize along with Indian activist Kailash Satyarthi, many celebrities and politicians took to Twitter to convey their wishes to the duo.

However, one actor goofed up his congratulatory message when he congratulated Malala. Actor Jackky Bhagnani, who starred in the film 'Youngistaan' tweeted- 'Such good news to hear about Masala and Noble Peace Price! My speech in #Youngistaan was inspired by her.

Yes you read it right, Bhagnani by mistake typed 'Masala' instead of 'Malala.' Not only that the spelling of Nobel and Prize was also wrong in his tweet. However, twitteratti didn't miss a second and Bhagnani soon became the butt of jokes on the social networking site-

One awesome thing about Jackky Bhagnani, Rahul Gandhi & Bilawal is that they all can play each others character in their biopics.
