Interestingly, the video of Shubhankar Mishra has gone viral and has also been liked by Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh.
In the video, Shubhankar said, “Dhanashree ke case main, Dhanashree ko apni doosri zindagi shuru karne main badi takleefo ka saamna karna pada. Chahal ke fans unhe troll karenge. Aise main, paisa rahega toh yeh empowerment deta hai. Taakat ka ehsas deta hai. Phir mere mann main sawal aata hai, ‘Toh phir yeh nahi kehna chahiye na ki I’m a self-made woman?“
He said, “Phir jo Chahal aapka mazaak udane ke liye T-shirt pehen raha hai jispe likha hai be your own sugar daddy ya voh log jo aapko gold-digger keh rahe hain, unn baaton se aapko bohot parhez nahi karna chahiye kyuki aap paise le rahe ho.”
Later, Ritika ‘liked’ the clip on Instagram.
