Vidya Balan's team REACTS after actress gets trolled over 'PR-generated' note for Rohit Sharma: 'She was...'

Vidya Balan faced criticism after accidentally posting a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation on Instagram. In the message, she showed her support for Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who had decided to skip the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25.

She quickly deleted the post just seconds after sharing it. Vidya's team quickly responded with a clarification, stating that she was genuinely moved by Rohit Sharma's selfless decision, which led her to write a supportive message for him.

Rohit Sharma, what a SUPERSTAR !!
To take a pause & catch your breath requires courage … More power to you … Respect !! @ImRo45

The statement issued by team read, "There has been some speculation regarding a tweet Ms.Vidya Balan put out yesterday expressing her admiration for the grace Rohit Sharma exhibited by stepping back as a player and captain from the last test match."

It furter mentioned, "Let it be unequivocally stated that Ms.Balan posted this completely of her own volition because she was moved by his selfless act, and NOT by request from his PR team. Ms.Balan is not an avid sports fan, but she is a fan of those who show dignity and class under trying circumstances. To attribute her actions to anything other than a spontaneous reaction to something she found admirable is completely preposterous."

After deleting her post on Instagram, Vidya on X wrote, "Rohit Sharma, what a SUPERSTAR!! To take a pause & catch your breath requires courage … More power to you … Respect !! @ImRo45".

Interestingly, Vidya's message closely resembled one that was reportedly shared by Rohit's PR team through WhatsApp. Vidya Balan's most recent project was the horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the film also starred Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri, and Madhuri Dixit in significant roles.
