Bollywood shows support for Anushka on Twitter

Priyanka, Sushmita among celebs who back Anushka after cricket fans' hostile comments

As Indian media and cricket fans heaped blame on cricketer Virat Kohli's girlfriend Anushka Sharma for their country's unceremonious exit from the World Cup, celebs took to Twitter to express their support for the NH10 star.

Bipasha Basu questioned whether cricket fans were the only ones who had the right to support the team.

Whole nation can support the team but a team member's girlfriend can't ?!?!?! Really!!!

It's ok to be disappointed or critical. BUT these comments about Anushka are DOWNRIGHT disgusting.
