Her tweet about an error in her age – the actor is 44, not 35, which pops up on searching her age online – has garnered lots of responses.

Tillotama Shome’s tweet

On Tuesday, the actor, who was last seen in Lust Stories 2, tweeted, “How do I change my age from 35 to 44 on Wikipedia? I never made this page, but have been pointed towards the discrepancy about how old I say I am and what is written. Thank you in advance.”

Reaction to Tillotama Shome’s request

Many responded to Tillotama’s tweet. Some praised her acting chops, others offered help. One Twitter user joked about the actor’s remark about being asked about the the discrepancy between her age on Wikipedia and what she says is her real age.

He tweeted, “You are not a credible source about your age (laughing emojis).” Another agreed with the actor, tweeting, “Yes I was thinking that after your interview with Film Companion… I double-checked when you said 40s… “

Some also supported the actor, and wanted to ‘edit’ her Wikipedia page. One tweeted, “You can log in and edit it yourself from what I know.” Another said, “I do not see the age, not sure, if I am looking at the right page. If you point the page, I can edit it for you.”

A fan also tweeted, “Tillotama, it really doesn’t matter to us. What matters is the age that you portray for the character. You are an actor who can do anything. You are that versatile. So the question that comes. Who are you? Where are you in this crowd? Who amongst these characters is the real Tilo.”
