While recently Twinkle Khanna was trolled for sharing a photo of Akshay Kumar’s Rustom naval costume auction, it is now the PadMan actor, who seems to be drawing much flak for deleting a tweet that mentioned the hike in petrol prices. Seems like Kumar’s tweet, which was around six posted years ago, hinted at the same. However, when the tweet caught attention, it was soon deleted. Quite upset with the mysterious action, Twitterati decided to call out the actor for his "hypocrisy" and also questioned whether he was going to remove all the other political posts by him tweeted before 2014. ALSO READ | As petrol price touches Rs 85 in Mumbai, govt says will go for a long-term structured solution The rising rates of fuel, which has crossed over Rs 80 and Rs 70 for petrol and diesel respectively, has shocked many Indians. With the increment at present, the petrol prices have touched an all-time high. The previous highest record of petrol was at Rs 76.06 per litre in Delhi on September 14, 2013, that is almost five years back. Though the actor's tweet was deleted, there were many who took screenshots of the same and decided to troll him. A parody account named Unofficial Sususwamy brought the actor's initial tweet to light. Akshay Sir, Big Fan! Can you please lend me your bycycle? I'll get it cleaned. — Unofficial Sususwamy (@swamv39) May 20, 2018 While some people questioned it, others dug out various other tweets by the actor that directed towards price hike.
