Soon after, her comments did prompt the Indian cricketer to take to Instagram to subtly criticize the actress.

On his Instagram story, post the interview wrote, "It’s funny how people lie in interviews just for some meagre popularity and for hitting the headlines. Sad how some people are so thirsty for fame and name. May God bless them #merapichachorhoBehen #Jhutkibhilimithotihai". He, however, within minutes deleted the post.

Pant was appointed as the brand ambassador of Uttarakhand by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami in a programme organised at Uttarakhand Sadan in New Delhi on Thursday. 

CM Dhami said that honouring cricketer Rishabh Pant as Uttarakhand brand ambassador would inspire youth in the field of sports in the state. "A better environment is being created by the state government for the youth of the state to make their mark at the national and international level," he added.
