Socialite Shobha De on Monday evening wrote a nasty tweet, belittling the hard work put in by our Olympians, saying they have gone to the mega event at Rio to click selfies and would return empty handed and that it was a waste of money and opportunity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nGoal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao. Selfies lo. Khaali haat wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity.<\/p>\n

However, not many took it lightly and gave her back, critising her very motive and sarcastic words. India’s ace shooter was one of the first to reply, saying it was a tad unfair on the part of the socialite.<\/p>\n
\n@DeShobhaa<\/a> that’s a tad unfair. You should be proud of your athletes perusing human excellence against the whole world.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, other celebrities and sportspersons too replied De back, criticisng her tweet:<\/p>\n
\n@Abhinav_Bindra<\/a> And do so despite of and in spite of there being no infra & institutional support, and no sporting culture @DeShobhaa<\/a><\/p>\n

\nNot even worth a selfie. If scaring babies was Olympic sport, @DeShobhaa<\/a> would strike gold! https:\/\/t.co\/NLNEOtR6Jh<\/a>pic.twitter.com\/7KjQQGAipl<\/a><\/p>\n
