One such hardcore RCB fan was Deepika Ghose, who became an overnight sensation after being spotted cheering for Virat Kohli's men.
Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) failed to reach the playoff stage during IPL 2019 and finished at the bottom of the table. However, the loyal fans of RCB stood through their thick and thin.
One such hardcore RCB fan was Deepika Ghose, who became an overnight sensation after being spotted cheering for Virat Kohli's men. However, her life turned topsy-turvy after that night and she was disappointed to know that she was only seen as an RCB fangirl. Deepika was spotted cheering up for Kohli's team during RCB's game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Deepika's video went viral within no time and she had started getting follow request and even got a verified status on Instagram.
With all the attention she received, Deepika took to Instagram to speak about the moment she was spotted and what it has led to.
"My name is Deepika Ghose & that is probably the only thing that is being said about me which is 100% TRUE," she said.
"I did not want any recognition or realise the number of times that I was on camera. I am no celebrity, just an ordinary girl who was enjoying the match. I did nothing to warrant the kind of attention that ensued after the TV images appeared and I certainly did not seek it," said Deepika.
"My identity, privacy, and life have been hacked in an instant. A lot of the overnight followers are men who have used this platform to be crude, vulgar, vicious & entirely disrespectful.
"Even more shocking is the hate I have received from women. How quick & cruel you have been to say mean things to & about me without even knowing me. I AM ONE OF YOU!" she added.
She concluded the post saying, "Yes, I am #theRCBgirl but I am SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT".
