On Friday Bollywood actress Hema Malini issued an apology over a tweet in which she stated that the popular Assamese festival Bihu belongs to Bihar. After she made the mistake the 74-year-old Bhartiya Janta party (BJP) MP from Uttar Pradesh's Mathura on Thursday was trolled on Twitter while extending greetings on the festive month.

Malini tweeted, "By mistake, I have put in Bihar festival Bihu is celebrated. I am sorry! That should be behu, festival of Assam."

A day before, the actress-politician had tweeted, “It is the Harvest season now. Tamizh Puthandu (New Year), Baisakhi (Punjab), Bihu (Bihar) and Pohela Baisakh or Naba Barsha (Bengal) are some of the festivals celebrated. Wish you all a wonderful festival month.”

In the comment section Twitter users pointed out the mistake of Hema Malini and asked her to correct it.

One user commented, “Ma'am Bihu belongs to Assam. Kindly correct your tweet…” 

Another wrote, “You are absolutely wrong madam, Bihu belongs to Assam only, we just achieved Guinness world record today as maximum number of group dance performers in a single venue.

“Bihu is a set of three important non-religious festivals unique to the Indian state of Assam ' Rongali ' or ' Bohag Bihu ' observed in April, ' Kongali ' or ' Kati Bihu ' observed in October, and ' Bhogali ' or ' Magh Bihu ' observed in January,” wrote one.

On Thursday Assam created two world records as total of 11,304 dancers and musicians performed in Guwahati stadium, for Bihu dance.

More than 7,000 dancers, most of them girls, and over 3,000 ‘dhol’ drummers and other musicians who have been selected from all districts in the state and trained over the past few weeks, performed for 15 minutes at the Sarusajai Stadium.
