And given the whole world is dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic, he decided to use that as a tool for his sense of humour that majorly backfired. His first tweet that actually came as a shock for a while was- "My doctor just told me that I tested positive with Corona." And a few minutes later, came this- "Sorry to disappoint, but now he tells me it's a April Fool joke it's his fault and not mine." (sic)
Have a look at his tweets right here:

From memes to GIFs, some netizens were amused but a majority of them blasted him for such an irresponsible and innocuous tweet. One of them wrote- "Sir please this 'CORONA VIRUS' is nothing to joke about. This is a Pandemic.. People are dying.. I pray that this joke of yours should never come true." (sic)
He apologised in his next tweet though, have a look:
Anyway I am just trying to make light of a grim situation but the joke is on me and if I dint offend anyone I sincerely apologise to them
