Irfan Pathan gets congratulated for Irrfan Khan's Filmfare triumph, comes up with hilarious response

Irrfan Khan might've taken home the Best Actor trophy at the Filmfare Awards on Saturday, but it was his namesake Irfan Pathan who was grabbing attention on social media on Sunday.

Veteran actor Irrfan was declared the Best Actor for his role in the movie Hindi Medium during a glittering ceremony of the Filmfare Awards in Mumbai.

In a race to congratulate the fine actor, leading entertainment magazine Femina put out a post on their official social media account. They made one mistake, though. A rather costly one at that.

Instead of tagging Irrfan, the actor, they ended up tagging Irfan, the cricketer.

Here's the tweet

It was definitely well deserved, @IrfanPathan https://t.co/QKwDWzJ7Bs

As luck would have it, Pathan didn't miss the post and went on to hilariously troll Femina for their faux pas. "Thank u n sorry I couldn’t make it but u can send the award to me at my home," tweeted Pathan.

Here his post

Thank u n sorry I couldn’t make it but u can send the award to me at my home ;);)

Fans, of course, couldn't get enough of Pathan's quick wit.

Here are some reactions
