Anushka Sharma's fans defend her against 'appalling' comments on kirtan video: 'She and Virat have always been spiritual' | Bollywood

Different reactions to the video

“Anushka dekh ke kirtan kam Concert zyaada lag raha hai (When I see Anushka, it looks more like a concert than a kirtan),” read a comment on Reddit. “Kirtan mein Bhi about acting? Bhaisaab (Wow! She even exaggerates in kirtan)!” wrote another. “Anushka seems very frightening at times,” another commented. “She has the same crazy look I see on people in cults,” said another.

However, many fans of Anushka and Virat also defended them. “Why is the comments section so rubbish? People only have such fun in Kirtan. Hum Logo K Ghar Kirtan Ya Mata Ki Chowki Hoti Hai Ladies dance Bhi Karti Hai, Tab Bhi Bolo Exaggeration (Even the women in our families dance like this during Kirtans and Mata Ki Chowki. You can't call it exaggeration then). Stupid people!”

“Jesus, the comment section here is 🚽 (toilet). “They literally do their own thing, uninterrupted and in their lane, stop picking on them every time,” another fan defended.

One fan said that the couple has always embraced their spiritual side. “Bhai, I understand not everyone likes Anushka but the responses below are downright stupid and terrible. Anushka and Virat have always been very spiritual.”

Who is Krishna Das?

One person also emphasized that the kirtan was from Krishna Das, who often has this effect on people. “This wasn’t another kirtan. This was THE kirtan in Mumbai’s 2024 calendar. The legendary Krishna Das,” they wrote. Krishna Das is an American singer whose album “Live Ananda” (released in January 2012) was even nominated for a Grammy in the “Best New Age Album” category.

Anushka and Virat are big followers of Neem Karoli Baba and so is Krishna Das. They often made trips to his ashram in Nainital and once even brought daughter Vamika with them.

Virat is currently representing India in cricket and Anushka has taken a long break from work since the birth of her son Akaay. They recently filmed a promotional video together for a clothing brand.
