Gambhir calls out sexist trolls.
Kashmiri starlet Zaira Wasim found herself at the centre of controversy when she apologised for "offending" and "unintentionally hurting" people after her meeting with Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti kicked up a row.
Her Facebook post evoked a lot of reaction amongst athlete community. Cricketer Gautam Gambhir voiced his opinion on the matter on Tuesday.
In a Facebook post, the Delhi Ranji team captain wrote, "To me whole Zaira Wasim episode smells of sexual bias. Can someone say the same thing to Aamir Khan, Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan? Men will be men. Insecure to see a girl like Zaira Wasim get wings. Sadly we still think "Maahri Choriyan AAJ B Choron se kum hain."
Earlier in the week, Zaira took to social media and tendered an apology apparently over her meeting with the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister on Saturday, which drew sharp reactions from the youth in the valley because of the situation here during the last few months. She also played down her performance in Dangal, saying she was "not proud of" what she is doing.
Wrestler Geeta Phogat came out in support of Dhaakad Ladki Wasim, saying she need not apologise or worry as she has not done anything wrong.
"I just want to say that Zaira shouldn't apologise. She didn't do anything wrong. Just like we have made our country proud by winning medals, she has done the same thing by playing my younger version in the movie. She did a lot of hard work for that role and she played it really well. I've met her so many times during shoot, she is a very simple girl... I want to say to her family that don't be afraid about anything and just don't worry. We all are with them. The entire country stands with them. She is equally deserving like us and we all respect her from the bottom of our hearts," Geeta said.
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, who played the role of Mahaveer Phogat in Dangal, also came out in support of Wasim appealing people to leave her alone and respect the fact that she is just a 16-year-old girl trying her best to deal with life.
