Dubai-based celebrity chef, Nusret Gökçe, known for this online presence as 'Salt Bae' was recently criticised 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 Salah's fans as the dislocated shoulder could rule him out of the 2018 World Cup.

So, naturally, 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 Salt Bae got 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.
