Blooper in caption
Along with the picture, Shabana captioned the picture with, “Happy family on Honey’s last birthday.” However, the internet was quick to point out that Shabana should mention “previous birthday” instead of “last birthday” or her message could get misinterpreted. An Instagram user commented, “Last birthday?” Another wrote, “Last birthday (laughing with tears emoji).” “You should write Last year bday not last bday,” pointed out a third one. “Edit and correct the caption please. People wouldn’t make an effort to read the comments rather take the opportunity to attack you. (namaste emoji),” stated a fourth comment.
However, instead of editing her caption, Shabana later commented the clarification on her own post, “SORRY! SORRY! SORRY (eyes closed emojis) Previous birthday ! I stand corrected.” Instagram users suggested she edited her caption instead. One of them commented, “Ma’am you can correct it, your caption might hurt someone.” Another wrote, “But u can edit the mistake (take a bow emoji).” “It happens, but you can still correct it on the same picture touch right corner three dots will appear, touch it option wil show to edit, simply edit caption. We all do such mistakes some times @azmishabana18 ji (hugs emojis),” spelled out a third comment.
