Gittanjali is worried about the safety of her son since he has been exposed to public hate.
Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli and his wife actress Anushka Sharma confronted a man for littering on the streets on Saturday. Kohli put the video of the incident on his social media handles that went viral and generated a lot of buzz.
The man, Arhhan Singh, in an Instagram post agreed that it was careless of him to throw the litter out of his car and on the road. But he lashed out at the couple for not having 'verbal etiquette.' As the rant continued, he also called Virat Kohli a trashy mind for making this confrontation public.
Now Singh's mother Gittanjali has 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.
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. You both may be who you are in your fields, with millions of followers and all the PR backing you... you may be paid for your campaigning or maybe doing it for sheer publicity."
Gittanjali wrote that she is concerned about her son's safety because Virushka have exposed him to public hate and fanatics.
"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 called them out on not using their stature and influence to have the local authorities take care of the garbage issues.

@anushkasharma @virat.kohli The last thing we would want is to get publicity out of your cheap STUNT in the name of CLEANLINESS!
You both posted a video for your fans n followers by VIOLATING Basic Rights to privacy &you shamed my son in the video as well in your post content
you both may be who you are in your fields, with millions of followers & all the PR backing you... you may bepayed for your campaigning or maybe doing it for sheer publicity
As a mother,I would like to state that you have not only shamed my son @arhhansingh on social media by not blurring his face, but youve 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 sons SAFTEY !!!
how dare you crush somebody’s image/and morale and reputation and expose him to publichate, a boy who is on the verge of starting his ventures, ..just to prove what good citizens you both are to increase your fan following ?How dare you??
If you both really cared or bothered about cleanliness , then you would actively do something about all the garbage in your own lane.. you would make a noise and use your VOICE to urge the municipal authorities to take action atleast in the lane where you live,to start with, which you haven’t . Posting videos of fake bravado just to fool your followers.
If your intention was genuine then you would pull over and politely correct the person for littering IF THEY DID in a decent and real manner... and not by displaying such a rude and arrogant attitude, and then posting it for the world to see!
You have caused a lot of grief with your post & this is morally and humanitarianly very wrong.
You may be #AnushkaSharma or #viraatkohli in your house or on screen & the field...but on the streets you are just a citizen trying to correct another... DO IT WITH KINDNESS ....fear karma .
And just FYI , he did not react badly, not coz of who you both are.. we couldnt care less,but only because he has a decent upbringing ! Unlike people like you, who seem to think that you are the empowered ones to talk and treat people as you wish !
In the video, Anushka can be seen pulling over the car next to hers and asking the man inside not to throw garbage on the streets.
"Why are you throwing garbage on the road? Don?t throw garbage on the road. Please be careful," she said.
Virat captured the incident on his phone and shared it on Twitter, saying, "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."
Anushka was previously associated with Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. In 2017, she was named as the face of a countrywide campaign to clean the streets, roads and for the infrastructural development of the country.
