6th April: Local news channel, ARY News is known for making blunders on national TV. This time around, the channel reported that Portuguese professional footballer, Ronaldo was getting a trim from his son instead of his girlfriend, Argentinian model, Georgina Rodriguez cladded in a hoodie.
Apparently, Ronaldo and his girlfriend, Georgina alongside their children are currently self-isolating in Ronaldo’s native Madeira amid coronavirus.
Stay home and keep stylish #stayhomestaysafe quotes the footballer on his twitter.

Merci means ‘Thank You’ in French. However, ARY News thought France was asking for ‘mercy’ from God, and this was run on their channel too!
People across Pakistan noticed this hilarious mistake and took to Twitter to express their thoughts!
Yaar yeh ‘merci’ hai, ‘mercy’ nahin pic.twitter.com/xle0yM63jy

ARY news says in Urdu ticker:
Rehem (mercy) is written on Eiffel Tower by France😳
Merci (not mercy) means Thanks in French. Thanks to medical staff!
This is primte tv channel of 🍌Pakistan.

The definition of “merci” is “thank you” in French.
What a low level and stupid media we have. #ARYNewsUrdu @ARYNEWSOFFICIAL @Salman_ARY pic.twitter.com/Oq5qikXA33
