t is a prerequisite for every journalist to do their basic preparation and background check before interviewing famous personalities, but National Broadcasting Company (NBC)'s Megyn Kelly clearly fell short on her homework and is now being bashed across Twitter for her incredible question to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This ludicrous situation came to light when Prime Minister Modi praised Kelly for her picture on Twitter where she is posing with an umbrella, to which the seemingly taken aback Kelly asked the Prime Minister "Are you on Twitter?" The Prime Minister laughed off her question.

Another person, questioned Kelly to look at her profile first before asking the question comparison.

Nevertheless, Kelly may sure have come under the spotlight for her important tete-a-tete with two of the world's greatest leaders, but now this one lone blunder is sure to haunt her for a long time.
