"Diyela Hai": Ranveer Singh stands 100% behind Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma's hard-hitting open letter to all her critics has triggered a frenzy online. The actor has hit back at years-worth of claims over her receiving preferential treatment while going on tour with Team India on account of her being married to skipper Virat Kohli, with the most recent being that she had been served tea by a selector at the World Cup. Anushka Sharma took to her Instagram to share a detailed note:

Fraternity supports her

As soon as Anushka Sharma shared the post, her co-stars and friends from the industry came out in solidarity with her. Her Band Bajaa Baaraat co-star Ranveer Singh was one of the first ones to come out to praise her for speaking out to silence the critics. He showed his support through his comment, Gully Boy style.

Clearing the air of all allegations

Anushka Sharma's clarification on the matter was in response to allegations made by veteran Indian wicket-keeper Farokh Engineer where he lashed out at the selection committee by bringing up Anushka Sharma's name. He alleged that the selection committee was seen serving cups of tea to Anushka Sharma. Anushka responded by saying that comments on the selection committee and their qualifications can be made by anyone as long as her name is not dragged in to substantiate or sensationalize anyone's opinion.

Anushka Sharma replied to Farokh Engineer's comment by adding that when she attended the one World cup match, she was seated in the family box and not the selector's box which make the veteran cricketer's allegations baseless and ill-advised. Her statement posted online was not just a response to this particular instance, but several others that Anushka Sharma had to face because of her relationship with her erstwhile boyfriend, and now husband, Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli, including the controversial 2018 incident where she was a part of the Team India photoshoot at the India High Commission in London.
