Now, Bollywood actors Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter among others, have also come out in support of Shami as they hailed Virat Kohli’s official statement on the matter.
The Indian Skipper said “To me attacking someone religion most pathetic thing a human being can do. Everyone has the right to voice their opinion, but I have personally never even thought of discriminating against someone over their religion”
Kholi reminded the trolls of Shami’s contribution to the Indian team, “People take out their frustrations because they obviously have no understanding of what we do as individuals. They have no understanding of how much effort we put into the field. They have no understanding of the fact that someone like Mohammad Shami has won India a number of matches in the last few years and he has been our primary bowler with Jasprit Bumrah, when it comes to making an impact in games”
Reacting to it, several Bollywood celebs Sonam Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar, Anand Ahuja, Shibani Dandekar, Harshvarrdhan Kapoor, Swara Bhasker, Ishaan Khatter and others, took to their respective social media handle to hail Virat Kholi for his statement in support of Mohammed Shami.
