An Olympic medalist was in the spotlight, but one unexpected question turned the moment into a viral controversy on social media.
Manu Bhaker was being praised for her achievements, but the focus quickly shifted away from her journey to something unexpected.
She was suddenly asked about cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, confusing many since they play different sports.
She said with good mentorship and support, age doesn’t matter for talent. Great things can happen at any age, and with proper guidance, Vaibhav can become the next big star.
Joy Bhattacharjya said it’s unfair to ask an Olympic medalist like Manu Bhaker about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. He suggested we should respect her achievements and not just use her for cricket headlines.
Many fans felt this wasn’t the right time to ask about Vaibhav. Both athletes deserve their own spotlight without mixing up their achievements.
The viral clip has sparked a debate about media priorities and respect for athletes. Are we really honouring our champions as they deserve?
