A leading daily has come under the fire after Anushka Sharma revealed on social media that their regional supplement had published a fabricated interview attributed to her.
The headline from the screenshot shared by Sharma roughly translates into: ‘In life, some things happen out of the blue, just like this movie...’
Deblina Ghosh Mukherjee, reporter from the regional supplement, Ei Samay, who ‘conducted’ the interview admitted that the interview in question was published.
Though the date of publication is not known, the interview seems to have appeared in the regional supplement after her husband and cricketer, Virat Kohli, instagrammed a picture, when he was in South Africa for a series.
Anushka Sharma’s intimate, hush-hush wedding succinctly affirms her reticence on social media. Sharma is very discerning when it comes to disclosure of her private life in the public sphere. She underscored the fact that she has never given an interview to any publication about her personal life.
