Anushka Sharma raps litterbug in luxe car, he hits back at her for public shaming

Mumbai: Cricketer Virat Kohli on Saturday tweeted a video clip of his wife, actor Anushka Sharma, admonishing a man in the backseat of a chauffeur-driven vehicle for littering.

The man, Arhaan Singh, who is a managing director of an event management firm, later stated on Facebook that Anushka should have watched her tone. More than 6,600 netizens reacted to his post.

Virat's 17-second clip was shot while he and his wife were in their vehicle. Anushka gestured at the chauffeur of a passing car. She asked the man in the backseat, "Why are you throwing plastic on the road? Please be careful. You just can't be throwing plastic like that on the streets. Use a dustbin." Virat tweeted, "Saw these people throwing garbage on the road & pulled them up rightfully. Travelling in a luxury car and brains gone for a toss. These people will keep our country clean? Yeah right! If you see something wrong happening like this, do the same & spread awareness."

Singh stated he had no desire to gain mileage. "So I happened to carelessly litter a square mm of plastic while driving. A car passing by rolls down its window and there we have our wonderful Anushka Sharma ranting and yelling like a crazy roadside person. While I'm apologetic about my carelessness, Anushka, a little etiquette and politeness wouldnt have made you a lesser star. There are all kinds of manners and hygiene and verbal etiquette is one of them. The garbage that mistakenly went out of the window of my luxury car was way less than the garbage that came out of your mouth.. Or the trashy mind of Virat Kohli to shoot and post this online for whatever gains. Now that's some serious trash (sic)," he said. Many criticised Singh, but some said Virat and Anushka should have corrected him privately.
