After Twitter, Facebook and frenzied cricket fans chose to abuse Anushka Sharma blaming her for Virat Kohli's poor performance and India's loss in the semi final match against Australia in Cricket World Cup on Thursday, Bollywood celebrities came out in support of the actress.

Many celebrities took to Twitter to defend Anushka's presence in Sydney and said that to blame her for Virat's performance is not only foolish, but also regressive. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly also lashed out at people who attacked Anushka Sharma for Virat Kohli's failure with the bat in the cricket World Cup semifinal against Australia, saying that it showed their immaturity. After actress Anushka was attacked by the Twitterati, Ganguly said it's sad to see the mindset of such people. "What wrong Anushka has done? She had only gone to see a cricket match like the families of other players. It is unfair to blame her for Kohli's performance. It is the immaturity of people (criticising Anushka)," said the former captain.
