A video of Anushka Sharma scolding a man for throwing plastic garbage on the road went viral as soon as it was posted by her husband Virat Kohli. The man who threw the garbage has now responded.
The man, Arhhan Singh, in a Facebook post agreed that it was his careless mistake. But at the same time, he lashed out at the couple. “A little etiquette and politeness in ur dialogue wouldn’t have made u a lesser star !!” Singh wrote in his FB post.
He started his post with a Disclaimer: ‘I have no desire to gain any mileage from this post of mine…’
Not only Singh but his mother also took to Instagram and expressed her anger. Singh’s mother Gittanjali called it a stunt in the name of cleanliness.
She wrote, “You both posted a video for your fans n followers by violating basic rights to privacy and you shamed my son in the video as well in your post content.” She further wrote, “As a mother, I would like to state that you have not only shamed my son on social media by not blurring his face, but you’ve also exposed him to unwanted hostility and danger from fanatics for such a small thing that you claim he has done but have no proof of anyways. I am concerned about my son’s safety!”

Soon after the video went viral, though some praised the celebrity couple, several social media users expressed their disappointment over the whole episode as well.
With due respect. You are a public figure. Did u stop cussing during matches? Did u even asked camera to not show in slo-mo, whenever u cuss in every match. I see lot of young people follow u and find cussing fashionable. Where are ur morals now? Charity begins at home perhaps?

Cheap and crass level language by Anushka Sharma. And who recorded this video? Cheap publicity stunt.

Anushka Sharma scolded someone for throwing garbage and the recording is doing the rounds.
I wish the face of the person would not have been shared as even though he made a mistake, he need not be made infamous through the clip.— Koi naa (@ashnaka13) June 16, 2018
Why are you recording your wife’s heroics and publishing it in social media??.. is this the first time you saw someone threw a plastic cover from a car?? If your intention was to advice him, first be friendly instead of being bossy.. this kinda attention seeking is so cheap

Shouldn’t have recorded it or posted it on social media. Looks like publicity stunt though they don’t need it. However clean the intentions might be, the whole act gives negative message if questionable means are adopted.
