Tony Greig, the famous cricketer-turned-commentator, would have used his favorite line if he was alive- it’s all happening here- if he had seen the social media attack, mistake, attack on Indian cricketers whose girlfriends/wives belonged to Bollywood are – and vice versa. in another attempt to kill Bollywood (Hasn’t it gone too far and causing nausea?), social media users have recently intensified their brutality and literally turned furious against such couples. The recent case is the way Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya Shetty was trolled for her boyfriend KL Rahul’s failure (out, first ball) against Pakistan in the recent Asia Cup. In this week’s #BigStory, ETimes sheds light on the many layers of this disgusting behavior.

then and Now


Going back to the days of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s Pyaar Ishq and Mohabbat with Sharmila Tagore, the couple shied away from comments like ‘cute’, ‘sweet’ etc as there was no social media in those days. Even Ravi Shastri and Amrita Singh. Or so, it seems. Senior actress Mumtaz, speaking to us from London, but only partially agrees, “Neither Sharmila Tagore nor Reena Roy of my time did not receive any criticism over the failure of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Mohsin Khan. But it’s not just because Twitter, Facebook and Instagram didn’t exist, but also because those times have changed, how different the atmosphere is today,” said the co-founder of Oak Tree Sports and the TV series ‘ Breakfast with Champions’ director Nirav Ghosh says, “Even though there was no social media at the time, there was a certain amount of similar loose talk in nooks and offices when Pataudi didn’t do well on the field.” Obviously, over time there has been an increase in the number of sadhus around us and their breakfast, lunch and dinner are digested, if and only if they made a lewd comment on the current cricketers and their respective colleagues the previous day.

Should cricketers mix work with fun?

So should the girlfriends and wives of cricketers come to watch matches from the stands and even travel with their love affairs on foreign tours? Mayank Khandwala, former secretary of MCA (Mumbai Cricket Association) says, “Why not? How can any woman distract her man from doing well at his job? In fact, she is a great source of strength and inspiration to him.” No cricketer gets distracted by his game. If he doesn’t do well on a particular day, it is only because of his own shortcomings that he must match an opponent’s strategy against him. Bets in today’s cricket Too much and every international cricketer is trying his best to come. Trump out. So it is not easy for any player to maintain his success percentage always.” If focus is the main criterion, should a player be taken off social media while at work, Khandwala retorted, saying, “Absolutely not. Anyway, he is not allowed to use his phone most of the time. ”

sex doesn’t reduce power


Consulting psychiatrist Dr. Avinash Desousa says it is an unfair blame-game, “Cricketers can feel lonely on tours. In fact, they need individual support around them. If a cricketer is playing poorly, so is his partner. can give her something. Advice that no one else can because being closest to her, she could know exactly what was going wrong with her.”

It is common knowledge that people in India feel strongly that the presence of a love interest in a cricketer’s room affects his performance. Dr. DeSosa further supports and explains why these beliefs should be buried, “Perfect. People in our society feel that way. But it’s just a myth. There is no data that there is a biological need for sex to work for you.” , even if it is physically demanding. If the doctor makes a mistake do you blame his spouse? Do you blame his girlfriend if an engineer does wrong with a bridge construction Sex myths in India have to die

There can be a rift in romance and marriage

Sociologist Dr Naina Athale feels that the most damaging result of this relentless assault against such couples can end a relationship or two in today’s time. She points to ETimes, “This bullshit of shouting and abusing her on social media can create a rift between such couples. It’s okay if the woman isn’t a celebrity. You know all, she’s on social media. It may not be at all. But if she is a celebrity, she can be blamed.” A source close to the cricketer said, “It may be especially on him as the media asks such questions to him at public events.” Rishabh Pant and Urvashi Rautela, who did not go public but were reportedly dating, parted ways very soon.

Behind every successful person…


Mumbai-based cricket lover Pradeep Behrani, who has played cricket at a high level, feels that no matter the advice given by the medical personnel, the noise against such a pair can only subside when the media trolls about it. stop writing. “You’re only giving him the courage to troll more; the hype in the media gives you a high. I’d like to add here that Andre Agassi often traveled with Brooke Shields and John McEnroe often in the company of Tatum O’Neill when they were in court.. Did Brooke divert Agassi’s attention? If anyone thinks so, he needs to keep quiet. Can anyone even come close to the great success that McEnroe had in 1984 when Tatum O’Neill was seen in almost every match he played. In those 365 days?”

Nirav Ghosh explains, “Every cricketer is under pressure when matches are on. Nationalist pride comes from soldiers and cricketers, not film actors, because film actors are not competing globally. We Indians are somewhere else. Our cricket is more passionate than any other country. Plus, we’ve grown from an average team to a very high-intensity and great team. So, our public can’t take even an odd failure. This one The price for which these guys are paying is we are getting used to their super stardom. In our high zeal, we don’t realize that a cricketer is trying to maintain his form or even get back in form. For example, we don’t know the hard work that Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya are putting in currently, we are just looking at their fun reels.”

This journalist saw several unpublished comments made by the crowd on Sourav Ganguly at the Wankhede Stadium when he was batting in an international match in the late 90s. Reason- Ganguly was reportedly dating Nagma (who acted opposite Salman Khan in ‘Baaghi’). Obviously, during those days (those days) our society was changing. It was changing from rationality to irrationality. Nagma was not spared either.

Mayank Khandwala also says, “This behavior of accusing Bollywood girls of having relations with cricketers is not found abroad. Many foreign players including cricketers have been in love with the girls of their glamor industry.

Angry society looking for scapegoat

Psychiatrist Dr Harish Shetty blames our anger driven society for this. “Yeah, rational thinking has replaced irrational thinking. Plus, there’s a lot of frustration in today’s times, so you freak out. When you freak out, you accuse. It’s an immaturity Defense mechanisms. If you are one of those who exhibit mature defense mechanisms, you would say that the cricketer will come out through a lean patch (if any) and his girlfriend will assist him. You are happy for their togetherness But how many of us exhibit mature defense mechanisms? Very, very few of us. That’s why you see so much slang and vulgar remarks all the time.”

Adding to Ghosh’s support for Kohli and Pandya, who have gone through a lot of ups and downs recently, Dr Harish says that not just the media, even the brand managers of cricketers need to be careful. . “I feel sad for Kohli, who is an exceptional player. He got into a whirlwind of words with the management as his brand managers pushed him to say certain things. Is). ”

Respect cricketers’ partners


Bollywood actress Minissha Lamba is very upset with the way cricketers and their industry colleagues are treating her. She insists, “Our cricketers are the heroes of our country. They are the players who have trained, worked hard all their lives, spent their childhood on the cricket field to make their dreams come true, a life of discipline. Lived, learned and honed their skills, overcome personal setbacks and injuries and much more. We love our cricketers and loving them means respecting the person they love- the person who He has a safe place, the person who is his ultimate support. Anyone can have a bad day. Innings, low scores… It’s part of any game. Wouldn’t you want your partner to be there even if you’re on your own? Playing a friendly game with friends, cheering you on, no matter what?”

Who are these faceless trolls who draw their own conclusions and judge Bollywood and Indian cricket? Why is being allowed to continue to snowball the wrong way? Why is the cyber crime cell not swung into action and pulling these harmful elements? After all, his reprehensible behavior is leading the two biggest sectors of entertainment and cricket to collapse.

Clock doesn’t turn in praise

Mumtaz said, “Why are Bollywood actresses never praised when their cricketer-husband or boyfriend does well on the field?” A reflection of the sexism prevailing in our society? Think for a while.
