As she tweeted about the tour, veteran lyricist and screen-writer Javed Akhtar tweeted- “Dear Ms Michelle Obama , I am not some young crazy fan but a 77 years old writer/ poet from India .hopefully any Indian would know my name . Madame please take my words seriously , not only US but the world needs you in White House . You shouldn’t shrug off this responsibility.”
And these were some social media reactions on the tweet:
It’s unclear why Akhtar put out this tweet.
