Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma again hits out at the social media trolls after she received abusive messages over her reported on-off relationship with Indian Test cricket captain Virat Kohli.
“It’s one thing to be abused for a film I did or to be trolled if I did something wrong. But to be abused for something I had no association with? That was hurtful,” she said.
“I have been trolled more than many of my peers. At the beginning I didn’t know how to react but now I don’t care,” Anushka further added.
Earlier this year the star Indian batsman took to various social media platforms to stop attacking Anushka Sharma, saying it was shameful to blame her for his performances.
After his match winning 82* runs against Australia in the ICC world T20 2016, Kohli wrote on Instagram: Shame on blaming and making fun of her (Anushka) when she has no control over what I do with my sport. If anything she has only motivated and given me more positivity.”
Virat followed it up with a similar message on Twitter asking for people to have some “compassion”.
