Dubai-based celebrity chef, Nusret Gökçe, known of this online presence as Salt Bae recently got slammed for his Instagram post.

He posted a picture with the Liverpool star footballer Mohamed Salah, who suffered a game-ending injury.

Emotions are high among his fans as the dislocated shoulder could rule him out of the 2018 World Cup.

So, when Nusret shared a picture with the message - "I wish you all the best and my congratulations," the internet went berserk.

The picture received over 1,700,000 likes on Instagram but also slammed for being insensitive.

While some users thought it wasn't the right moment to ask for a picture (after the injury), few didn't understand what his 'congratulations' meant.
