Despite being a renowned actress in her own right, Anushka has frequently been targeted by trolls who attempt to link her presence in Virat’s life to his on-field performance. This baseless blame game resurfaced after Virat’s recent dismissals, with some social media users attributing his failures to his relationship with her. One user even went as far as to make a death wish against her, showcasing the extreme nature of the online abuse she endured.
However, Anushka’s fans swiftly came to her defence, condemning the misogynistic undertones of such attacks. They highlighted how men’s fragile egos often seek a woman to blame when their favourite player underperforms. Some fans speculated that the couple’s decision to relocate to London might be a response to the relentless trolling Anushka has faced over the years. “It’s cute how men’s fragile egos need a woman to blame every time their favorite player has a bad day.”
