Social media divided as Virat Kohli films Anushka Sharma call out man for littering

A man in Mumbai got an unexpected lesson on keeping streets clean when actor Anushka Sharma called him out for littering the road from his car.

The incident, which was filmed and uploaded on Twitter by Anushka's husband and cricketer Virat Kohli on Saturday, garnered divisive reaction from social media users.

In the tweet, Virat wrote, "“Saw these people throwing garbage on the road & pulled them up rightfully. Travelling in a luxury car and brains gone for a toss. These people will keep our country clean? Yeah right! If you see something wrong happening like this, do the same & spread awareness."  The message was tweeted along with a video in which actor Anushka Sharma can be seen calling out two men in a luxury car.

"Why are you throwing garbage on the road?" Anushka was heard asking in the video. The man, visibly taken aback by the sudden encounter, did not reply. "Please be careful, you can't just throw plastic around on the streets," she added

The video however received a mixed reaction from social media users. While many users came out in support of the 29-year-old cricketer, there was plenty of backlash, especially for posting the video without blurring the identity of the man.
