The news of hike in petrol price has taken the Twitterati by storm. Apart from cursing the decision, the netizens are also highly engaged in creating memes on the development already! However, Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar is in no mood to joke about the whole scenario. He is visibly upset by the big decision of petrol price gone to Rs 84 per litre. The Dil Dhadakne Do actor tweeted, "₹84 per litre mubarak to you and your loved ones.  Actual cost I believe is ₹31, based on info i could find online (do correct me if I’m wrong, happy to learn) .. the rest are central & state taxes, cess & commissions. Just so you know that the price can be brought down."

However, this did not go down with some of the trolls. The fans started pelting their comments on the actor's tweet, lecturing him to reduce the price of movie tickets and popcorn. However, the director-actor was quick enough to give them a dose of perspective, saying, "Please don’t buy the ticket or the popcorn. It’s not an essential commodity and it will not raise the price of vegetables and food grain in days to come. High fuel prices will."

Farhan's Tweet!

It makes sense, right? Well, voicing your opinion or discontent over any public matter has sort of become an invitation for trolls and even Farhan could not escape their backlash! On a better note, we hope that the talented actor keeps voicing his opinions without caring a bit about what the faceless accounts have to say!
