Taapsee Pannu's fans defend her 


This is not the first time an actress or spouse of a sportsperson is blamed for the team's performance. Previosuly, actresses like Anushka Sharma and Athiya Shetty have been on the receiving end of the massive backlash when their husbands and cricketers Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, respectively, failed to perform as expected.

Recalling the same, some well wishers and fans of Taapsee took to the comment section to defend her. A comment read, "Virat Kohli's words: Indians love to blame women for everything." Another wrote, "I guess men now have a problem with a woman supporting their husband too, phir yeh log aake bolenge ladkiyan support hi nehi karti hai and stuff." Another comment read, "The hatred against Indians by Indians in the comment section is real." Taapsee is yet to comment on the matter.
