Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli in legal soup over posting littering video

Actress Anushka Sharma and her husband and star cricketer Virat Kohli have been served a legal notice by the man, who was earlier scolded by former in a recent post over social media for littering in public.

The man, named Arhhan Singh, reportedly sent Anushka and Virat the legal notice on Saturday for shaming him on social media.

"Hi. My legal advisors have sent a notice to Mr Virat Kohli and Mrs Anushka Sharma Kohli. As the ball is in their court, no comments now. As in all fairness, I should await their response," Arhhan told Zee News over text.

The post was shared online by Virat and quickly went viral. It showed Anushka scolding a man sitting in a luxury car for throwing plastic out of the car's window.

"Why are you throwing garbage on the road? Don't throw garbage on the road. Please be careful," Anushka said in the video.

 

Saw these people throwing garbage on the road and 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 and spread awareness. @anushkasharma

Singh's mother Gittanjali also lashed out at the power couple in another Instagram post.  Calling it a 'stunt' in the name of 'cleanliness,' she accused the couple of violating the privacy of her son.

"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!" she posted.

The video received mixed reactions from fans of Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma on Twitter.

While some people applauded the actress for giving a 'piece of mind to these idiots', many, however, stated the couple's main motive was to just put the video out on social media.
