<p>Tabloid Mumbai Mirror's headline '50 Shades Of Gay' for reporting designer Manish Malhotra's 50th birthday bash sparked outrage on Twitter with the newspaper facing criticism for being 'distasteful'.</p>
<p><span>The strapline of the story read, "Gaity, fun, high spirits and haute fashion marked Bollywood's favourite designer Manish Malhotra's landmark 50th birthday bash on Monday."</span></p>
<p>Though few users pointed the usage of word 'gay' for 'happy' in its archaic sense, several considered the headline 'tacky'.</p>
