Manu Bhaker Controversy: Olympic medalist Manu Bhaker asked questions on Vaibhav Suryavanshi, angry fans said, this is an insult, have some shame.

News India Live, Digital Desk: India’s golden girl Manu Bhaker, who created history by winning two medals in the Paris Olympics, is once again in the news, but this time the reason is not any of her achievements but a controversy. During a recent interview, Manu Bhakar was asked something which has created a stir on social media. Manu Bhaker, who brought glory to the tricolor across the world, was asked a question about rising cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi. After this incident, the anger of the netizens is sky high and people are calling it a grave insult to a veteran athlete.

History making champion and unnecessary questions Manu Bhaker became the first Indian player to win two medals in the same Olympic Games. When she was attending an event, it was expected that the discussion would be on her hard work, shooting and future goals. But in between he was asked his opinion about cricketer Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been in the news recently for being sold as the youngest player in the IPL auction. Fans are unhappy with an Olympic champion asking questions about a junior cricketer.

Anger erupted on social media: ‘Can’t you see anything beyond cricket?’ As soon as the video of this interview went viral, internet users started targeting the person asking the question. People on Twitter (X) and Instagram say that the passion for cricket in India is so much that people forget to respect the legends of other sports. One user wrote, “It is absurd to compare what Manu Bhaker has done for the country with an uncapped player.” Another user expressed his displeasure and said that are such questions ever asked to any big cricketer about shooting or other sports?

Insult or just a general curiosity? There is also controversy regarding the fact that Vaibhav Suryavanshi is just starting his career, whereas Manu Bhaker has proved herself at the global level. Netizens argue that such questions not only belittle Manu’s achievements but also show that the mainstream media still gives priority to cricket in the name of sports. People believe that it is absolutely wrong to use the platform of an Olympic medalist to discuss another player.

Debate broke out again on the respect of players This is not the first time that a non-cricket player has faced such a situation. Even before this, athletes have complained many times that they do not get the recognition and respect that cricketers get. Although Manu Bhaker handled the situation with utmost grace, her fans have made it clear that they will not tolerate such ‘disrespect’ of their champion. This controversy has now taken the form of a big debate on the attitude towards sports and the protocols of the players in the country.
