Mawra Hocane, a well-known Pakistani actress, recently shared a delightful story with her fans on Instagram. She posted a screenshot that appeared to show football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo sending her New Year wishes. Fans were quick to celebrate the exciting news, as many imagined the two stars had connected personally for the occasion. Mawra even expressed her excitement by sharing the message with the words, “My year is made” and tagging Ronaldo in the post.
This sparked a flurry of excitement among Mawra’s followers and Ronaldo’s fans alike. Social media users were thrilled to think that one of the world’s most famous football players had taken the time to wish Mawra a Happy New Year. The picture seemed to show Ronaldo’s official account sending her a warm greeting for the New Year, which many believed was a personal message from the sports icon.
However, it didn’t take long for the truth to come out. While the message looked like a direct communication from Ronaldo, it was not a personal message at all. Instead, it turned out that the greeting was part of a general message broadcasted to Ronaldo’s huge following on Instagram. This was made possible by Instagram’s Broadcast Channel feature, a tool designed to send messages to large groups of followers, and not just one individual.
This revelation raised some eyebrows among social media users. Some wondered whether Mawra had mistakenly believed the message was personal or if she was simply having fun with her fans. The incident sparked a mix of reactions, with some finding humor in the situation, while others felt that Mawra might have misled her followers.
