What went unnoticed as just a happy greeting, was also a cryptic hint of Anushka finally breaking her silence. Shortly after, the young star wrote a strongly worded post against haters to find the “light” in themselves and to finally bring to the fore the truth about the nasty rumours she’s been the brunt of over many years.

Anushka wrote that her name was misused in “fabricated stories” regarding her husband’s career and her presence at sporting events. She states, “I have stayed quiet through all the times I was blamed for the performance of my then boyfriend, now husband Virat and continue to take the blame for the most baseless things involving Indian cricket… My name has been used in fabricated stories claiming that I am part of close-door team meetings and influenced selection processes… my name has wrongly been used to say how I have been given preferential treatment or how I have overstayed my authorized time with my husband on foreign tours…”
