"Changing the name of Gurgaon to Gurugram is a blow to the culture, language and history of Haryana. 'Gram' is not our word. Why has this happened? #GurgaonNameChange," Hooda wrote in Hindi on Twitter.

"I meant that in Haryanvi we have the word 'gaav' or 'gaam'. They could have changed it to Gurugaon," the 39-year-old actor.
