Twitterati has been busy praying for Naesamani—the painting contractor, played by Vadivelu in the 2001 movie Friends, who fell unconscious after a hammer fell on his head. The hashtag #PrayForNaesamani had even pushed #ModiSarkar2 to a humble second position even as people across the country and of course on Twitter have been debating who would be included in the Modi cabinet and who would not.

But not everyone seem to be amused by the hashtag. Actor and dance choreographer Gayathri Raghuram has come out, expressing her displeasure over the whole hullabaloo over the hashtag and the movie character.
Taking to Twitter, she said the hashtag was unnecessary and unwanted. “I feel Bad People have lost it now a days. Have gone mad. epic comedy scene to become a silly joke, meme and hashtag unnecessary. #PrayforNeasamani all these unwanted trending. We r going to look like fools Either for our nakkal or vettiness,” she tweeted.

“If u think ur doing this against Modi ji. It’s dumb idea. It’s just putting us down and behave like idiots. People all over the world will think we have no brains. First of all most of this scene fans dint get the joke and why is this going around. So stupid,” she said in another tweet.

It all started when a Facebook page, civilenglearners, posted a picture of a hammer and asked its followers what it is called in their respective countries. A Vadivelu fan connected it to the scene in the movie Friends, and commented that Naesamani's head was injured with this hammer. Another user, commented in response: “Is he ok?” And the rest, is social media history.
