Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh faces backlash after calling Yuzvendra Chahal ‘cartoon'; fans say ‘what a shame'
Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh became a victim of social media backlash after she called another Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal a 'cartoon'. The incident took place during a YouTube show hosted by former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and his wife Geeta Basra.
In the show, Harbhajan and Geeta show Rohit and Ritika pictures of certain cricketers asking the latter couple to what comes to their minds after seeing their pictures. The first picture that came out was Shikhar Dhawan with Rohit calling him 'Jaatta'.
The next picture that came out was of Chahal. While Rohit took a pause (along with a cheeky smile) to get the exact word, Ritika came up with a spontaneous response, 'cartoon,' leaving everyone in splits. 'Usually he is a cartoon,' added Ritika. The clip went viral in no time.
Ritika calling Chahal a 'cartoon' didn't go well with the fans as they left no stone unturned to criticise Rohit's wife on social media. 'Such a shameless behaviour, who gave her right to call Yuzi a cartoon…But now no one will have a problem with it, Imagine the outrage if Anushka Had said that,' one user said.
