What Did Vidya Balan’s Post Say?
Vidya Balan had lauded Rohit Sharma’s courage while taking this important decision on her post. She wrote, “Rohit Sharma, what a SUPERSTAR. To take a pause & catch your breath requires courage … More power to you … Respect !! @ImRo45.” No sooner did she share the post than netizens started brutally trolling her.

Statement From Vidya Balan’s Team
Now, Vidya Balan’s team has released a statement wherein they have slammed the speculations of her tweet on Rohit Sharma being a part of any PR strategy. The statement said, “There has been some speculation regarding a tweet Ms Vidya Balan put out yesterday expressing her admiration for the grace Rohit Sharma exhibited by stepping back as a player and captain from the last test match. Let it be unequivocally stated that Ms Balan posted this completely of her own volition because she was moved by his selfless act, and NOT by request from his PR team. Ms.Balan is not an avid sports fan, but she is a fan of those who show dignity and class under trying circumstances. To attribute her actions to anything other than a spontaneous reaction to something she found admirable is completely preposterous.”
