Mumbai: Team India’s batting mainstay Virat Kohli has lashed out at critics for trolling his ex-girlfriend Anushka Sharma after India’s emphatic win against Australia in the ICC World T20 on Sunday.
Kohli took to microblogging site Twitter to say that Bollywood actress Anushka has always given him positivity.
Ever since the news of their alleged break up was out in the open, Anushka was always trolled whenever Kohli comes out after a fine batting performance. Sunday was no different.
After the Delhi-born Kohli single-handedly powered MS Dhoni and Co to the semis, Anushka was taken to the cleaners with incessant number of trolls.
It has become the norm nowadays on Twitter that whenever Kohli plays well, Anushka trolls are let loose. When the Indian vice-captain was going through a rough patch, Twitterati blamed it on the B-Town actress’ influence on him.
Kohli has finally broken his silence and opened up on the issue. He called the behaviour towards Anushka as shameful.
“Shame on those people who have been having a go at Anushka for the longest time and connecting every negative thing to her. Shame on those people calling themselves educated. Shame on blaming and making fun of her when she has no control over what I do with my sport. If anything she has only motivated and given me more positivity. This was long time coming. Shame on these people that hide and take a dig,” he said.
Anushka's friend lauded Virat for standing up for Anushka. Arjun posted-
U gotta respect @imVkohli as a person for his post today... @AnushkaSharma is the most decent and correct person and she deserves respect !!
