Hang on @bbcnews Shashi Kapoor has died not Amitabh Bachan or Rishi Kapoor, who you’ve weirdly used to illustrate the story. pic.twitter.com/48jo6DGjU6

In an awful misunderstanding, their recording of the main story featured Amitabh Bachchan from Kabhie. That is not it, they additionally demonstrated a clasp of Rishi Kapoor, his nephew. Truth be told, Shashi Kapoor’s face never disclosed all through his passing fragment.
Everyone started responding negatively and said this was a lack of knowledge and research:
Seriously this is terrible.

I was sitting there thinking “why the hell are they showing classic footage of Amitabh @SrBachchan“….and then realised that the person responsible for obituaries @BBCNews may indeed not be able to tell the difference…
