British journalist and TV personality Piers Morgan made fun of India’s celebration and loud cheers over winning two medals calling it an embarrassing act as the country with 1.2 billion population celebrates 2 losing medals. But what happen after it would certainly made the journo to rethink before making fun of Indians next time.
Morgan was bit rude while pointing out the grand welcome Indian athletes received

@piersmorgan slamming fans in small towns that don’t have a lot to celebrate is strange behavior from a man who has a lot

To which Morgan said
1,200,000,000 people and not a single Gold medal at the Olympics?
Come on India, this is shameful.
Put the bunting away & get training.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 24, 2016
Author, columnist Suhel Seth also joined the league and the scene became more amusing
What is even more embarrassing are your snivelling interviews as if you had a diaper in your mouth. Sad. https://t.co/9jf55sBwAU

At least you’ll never have to worry about being one of my interviewees, Suhel.
I only interview famous people. https://t.co/yPGf3TLtNr— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 24, 2016
