Among the reactions praising Chopra, the same user asked Chopra on a lighter note, to not get distracted from sports by appearing in commercials. She further said that people love to watch him performing with Javelin rather than just acting.
On a lighter note just wanna say , Please don't get distracted by such things , we love to see you playing with your Javlin rather than doing acting
