Pakistani actress Sana Javed faced criticism on social media for impersonating Bollywood star Anushka Sharma during recent cricket matches.
On January 20, Sana Javed’s wedding photos with cricketer Shoaib Malik went viral and caused a stir in both Pakistan and India, with fans expressing mixed emotions.
After her marriage, Sana Javed was often spotted at stadiums supporting Shoaib Malik in his matches, with cameramen often capturing her reactions after Malik’s remarkable performances.
Currently, Shoaib Malik is performing remarkably in the World Championship of Legends and Sana continues to show her support by attending his games.
Recently, Sana Javed shared a video on Instagram where Shoaib Malik was smiling and waving at her at the stadium. The gesture, meant to express her affection, was captioned: “Cutie, Mere Malik.”
However, the video quickly went viral and sparked a wave of trolling on social media. Many users have accused Sana Javed of trying to emulate Anushka Sharma, who is known for supporting her cricketer husband Virat Kohli during matches.
Comments ranged from “You will never be Anushka Sharma” to “Sana Javed is becoming a cheap copy of Anushka Sharma.”
The backlash points to the kind of public figures they face on social media, where personal moments are often subjected to harsh criticism and comparison.
