cricketer shared the first meeting with her was bad It was so bad I was so nervous But then the shoot went on and I kind of figured out along the whole day she was a pretty normal person We could

at anushka for the longest time and connecting every negative thing to her Shame on those people calling themselves educated Shame on blaming and making fun of her when she has no control over what i do with my sport If anything she has only motivated and given me more positivity This was long time coming Shame on these people that hide and take a dig And i dont need any respect for this post Have
