Alia Bhatt might be one the biggest stars in Bollywood, but former South African batsman Herschelle Gibbs was totally unaware of who she is. On Sunday, the former cricketer posted a status that read, "Morning, birds are tweeting so I'll do the same and say have a good one folks," which was liked by Twitter's official account. Now, Mr Gibbs, who was delighted with Twitter's reaction, shared a GIF featuring Alia Bhatt to express his delight. However, he wasn't familiar with Alia's popularity. When a Twitter user asked the former cricketer, "Do you know Alia?" he replied, "I have no idea who the lady is." What followed suit was a series of comments from Alia's fans, who schooled Herschelle about the actress' popularity. After a few minutes, Herschelle tagged Alia and wrote: "Didn't know you were an actress but nice GIF."
