Javed Akhtar gives back to a troll for falsely accusing him of fat-shaming Rohit Sharma.

Congratulating Team India, Javed Akhtar wrote on X, “Once again, Virat has proved that he is the strongest pillar of today’s Indian cricket edifice!!! Hats off!!” One user responded, “If Virat is the strongest pillar, then who is Rohit Sharma? The heaviest pillar? Shame on you, Javed Saab, for fat-shaming the Indian captain.” This enraged the veteran lyricist, who slammed the troll for falsely accusing him. He replied, “Shut up, you cockroach. I have great respect for Rohit Sharma and all the great Indian cricketers in Test history. What kind of a neech (vile) and pathetic liar are you to claim that I have ever spoken against the dignity of a great player like Rohit? Kabhi socho tum itne ghatia aur ganday aadmi kyon ho (Think about why you are such a lowly and disgusting person)”

Congress leader fat-shamed Rohit Sharma.

Javed Akhtar trolling a social media user who falsely accused him of fat-shaming Rohit Sharma comes after Congress leader Shama Mohamed suggested Indian captain Rohit Sharma should “lose weight” in a tweet. She wrote, “Rohit Sharma is fat for a sportsman! He needs to lose weight! And, of course, he is the most unimpressive captain India has ever had! What is so world-class about him compared to his predecessors? He is a mediocre captain as well as a mediocre player who got lucky to be the captain of India.” Her remarks about the India captain sparked widespread criticism, leading her to delete her tweet.

Javed Akhtar hit back at the troll for communal remarks.

Before this incident, when Javed Akhtar celebrated India’s win against Pakistan, one user wrote, “Javed, Babar ka baap Kohli hai (Kohli is Babar’s father). Say, ‘Jai Shree Ram.’” To this the lyricist replied, “Main toh sirf yeh kahoonga ke tum ek neech insaan ho aur neech hi maroge. Tum kya jano desh prem kya hota hai (I will only say that you are a petty person and will die petty too. What do you know about love for the nation?).”
