Today, at the trailer launch of the Sui Dhaaga-Made in India, Anushka Sharma was asked about the recent controversy which raked after the Board of Control for Cricket in India shared a picture with the Indian Cricket Team which also had the actress appearing in it alongside husband Virat Kohli in the front row. To this, the first lady of cricket said, "This topic is more like a troll-driven activity. I do not react to trolls."
The picture received a lot of flak from social media users who asked whether Anushka is a part of the Indian cricket team and also for the fact that why other cricket WAGS aren't posing alongside their husbands or boyfriends. But the actress maintained her ground that her accompanying Virat and the team to the gathering was well within boundaries of the BCCI directives. "Whatever happened has happened within the guidelines and will always happen in the guidelines and I won't say anything more on this. Let's not make a huge hue and cry of a topic with such little substance," she stated.

Even Varun Dhawan chose to show his solidarity towards his co-star and quipped that since he has also played the role of a dog in the film he will bite anyone who asks such questions!
Anushka married Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli in a fairytale wedding last year in December in Italy. The couple is loved for the relationship goals that they showcase but at the same time often comes under the radar of trolls and detractors who blame the actress for India’s loss in any format of the game.
Post her wedding, she will be seen as Mamta in her forthcoming film Sui Dhaaga-Made in India opposite Varun, essaying the role of a housewife who instigates her husband to start a business of his own and not let his talent go by.
