Anushka Sharma, the wife of India skipper Virat Kohli, took to social media to debunk all the claims and shared her side of the story.
Bollywood star Anushka Sharma has officially posted a statement on her social media accounts on Thursday after former Team India cricketer Farokh Engineer claimed that he saw Indian national selectors serving tea to her during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in the UK.
“I didn’t even know one of the selectors during the World Cup and I asked him ‘who the hell he was’, because he was wearing the India blazer and he said he was one of the selectors. All they were doing was getting Anushka Sharma cups of tea. I feel people with the stature of Dilip Vengsarkar should be in the selection committee.” the 82-year-old said during an interview with TOI.
Anushka Sharma, the wife of India skipper Virat Kohli, took to social media to debunk all the claims and shared her side of the story.
In the statement, Anushka claimed: “It’s not like this last piece of ‘news’ has upset me more and that’s why I have decided to break my silence. They have all been as regressive and horrible and malicious and vicious. So, don’t take this letter as my retort to this ‘news’.”
“I have stayed quiet through all the times I was blamed for the performance of my then boyfriend, now husband Virat and continue to take the blame for the most baseless things involving Indian cricket. I kept quiet then."
“My name has been used in fabricated stories claiming that I am a part of closed-door team meetings and influenced selection processes and I have kept silent."
"My name has been wrongfully used to say how I have been given preferential treatment or how I have overstayed authorised time with my husband on foreign tours which if anyone really cared about finding out facts from the board, would know that I have always and always followed protocol but yet, I kept quiet," she added.
