A Man Named 'Hardik' Is Getting Trolled On Twitter For Gujarat Unrest

"What's in a name?" Shakespeare had once asked.

If only he had known Hardik Shah, a Mumbai resident, who is the business head of Videogram, he would have sure agreed that there's a lot in a name.

Since the time Hardik Patel hit the news for demanding an Other Backward Cast (OBC) reservation for the Patel community in the state of Gujarat, Shah is having a tough time on Twitter.

People who have raising their voices on Twitter against Patel for the violence in Gujarat, are unfortunately sending their messages to the wrong Hardik.

Some also had a few requests:

Shah tried telling people that they got the wrong Hardik, but that didn't help much:

For one & all, I'm not Hardik Patel :)

Finally, Shah decided to change his display name.

Alright, change in the display name after a long long time. #hardikpatel #Not

— NOT Hardik PATEL (@hardik) August 27, 2015

But, that hasn't helped either.

Do kaudi k launde @hardik patel ko media ne hero bana diya .

Will the real Hardik Patel please stand up, on Twitter?
