Actress Tillotama Shome recently sent a mocking apology to a Twitter user who thought her character in The Night Manager, her most recent film, was “very irritating.” The show is a Hindi adaptation of the British television programme with the same name that was based on a book by John Le Carre. In a second tweet, Tillotama vowed to improve moving forward and refuted the notion that her persona was unpleasant.
It started when Tillotama on the microblogging website unveiled her character from The Night Manager, “Lipika Saikia Rao. A woman who can navigate through a man’s world with a smile and a joke up her sleeve. No easy task.” A user responded by tweeting, “The most irritating character in the series and one of the reason I couldn’t continue to watch #TheNightManager.”
Soon after the actor commented jokingly, “Aioooo am so sorry. Will do better.” “Heyy!! That’s cool…. You were great in Delhi Crime, so this one’s on the writers,” also wrote back the same user. However, many commented in support of the actor.
Aioooo am so sorry. Will do better.

One of them said, “There was nothing irritating about that character. Instead, this character was full of humour that brought a different charm to series. Well opinions may vary person 2 person.” “Other way round, I found your character as well as acting the prime reason to finish the series. Wish to see you more in The Night Manager S2 & many more,” added another.
In response to one such compliment, Tillotama added, “Thank you. I had a great time doing that. and did not find her irritating,” accompanied by a smiley face emoji. Tillotama portrays Lipika Saikia Rao, a government employee, in the spy thriller series. She is regarded as a laid-back, intellectual person who can craft clever one-liners and quips.
