Virat Kohli’s poor show is Anushka Sharma’s fault? Priyanka, Arjun and others disagree
Some people, including actors from the film industry, stood by Anushka Sharma and trolled the trollers instead. One of them is Priyanka Chopra.

With Virat Kohli scoring just one run in the crucial India-Australia Cricket World Cup semi-final match, twitterati took jibes at his girlfriend and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, who was seen cheering for the team and Kohli from the stands.
Some called her ‘panauti’ (bad omen), while some cursed and abused her. Some fans and followers even went to the extent of asking others to boycotting all her movies, even though it was pretty clear from the video footage shown during the match that Anushka was equally disappointed when Virat walked back to the dressing room.

Despite the fact that Anushka WAS NOT the one who was batting, bowling or fielding, the troll tweets just kept coming in. Read the full story here.
But some people, including actors from the film industry, stood by the talented actress and trolled the trollers instead. One of them is actress and Anushka’s co-star from the upcoming movie ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ – Priyanka Chopra.

Abhishek Bachchan also supported Anushka in his witty way. It so happened that when enterpreneur Anirban Das posted his reaction on Anushka’s trolling at the hands of the disappointed fans, Abhishek echoed his thoughts and tweeted in support of Anushka.
@anirbanblah @AnushkaSharma these are the type of people who will never have wives or girlfriends.

Here’s what other filmstars had to say about the actress.
Let’s give the Australian Team credit for playing well on the day instead of finding lame reasons,excuses & blaming individuals for our loss
