While watching yesterday’s India Vs Australia match, I was really glad when a shot of Anushka Sharma sitting in the stands came on to screen – glad they got it out of the way and now we could stop obsessing over her and focus on the game. So when Virat Kohli came on to play and did not manage to score as well as he was expected to, the entire nation, including his girlfriend Anushka, was disappointed and I thought that was the end of it. Except, social media went on a rampage and started hating on Anushka because apparently it was because of her presence that Virat “didn’t perform well enough.” *Slow Claps*
Thankfully though, for every KRK, there’s a celebrity who has a functioning brain. Here are some tweets by celebs that are basically saying what all of us (sane people) are thinking:
So horrible to c a supportive girlfriend being lynched for a game she just watched!!Stop with the disrespect! #StillBleedBlue @AnushkaSharma
