Indian cricketer Virat Kohli shared a video, on Saturday, in which Anushka Sharma can be seen scolding a man who was littering on Mumbai streets.

Virat took to Twitter and wrote, “Saw these people throwing garbage on the road & pulled them up rightfully. Travelling in a luxury car and brains gone for a toss. These people will keep our country clean? Yeah right ! If you see something wrong happening like this, do the same & spread awareness.”

In no time, the video went viral, and people started trolling the couple as for them it came as a "desperate attempt to seek attention".



The man from the video, who has been identified as Arhhan Singh, replied to Anushka's action. In a Facebook post, he admitted his mistake , but went on to criticise Anushka Sharma for “ranting and yelling like a crazy roadside person”. Here’s the full text:

Disclaimer: i have no desire to gain any mileage from this post of mine...

Horrible! So I happened to carelessly Litter a sq mm of plastic while driving ! A car passing by rolls their window down and there we have our wonderful Anushka Sharma ranting and yelling like a crazy roadside person! While I’m apologetic for my carelessness , Mrs Anushka Sharma Kohli a little etiquette and politeness in ur dialogue wouldn’t have made u a lesser star !! There are all kinds of manners and hygiene .. verbal etiquette is one of them!

The garbage that mistakenly went out of the window of my luxury car... Was way less then the garbage that came out from your mouth... From ur luxury car's window... Or the trashy mind Virat Kohli to shoot and post this online... For whatever gains...

Now thats some SERIOUS TRASH!!!


After Arhan, his mother, Gittanjali Elizabeth, posted a long post on Instagram saying that she is concerned for her son’s safety after Virat and Anushka’s “cheap stunt in the name of cleanliness!”
