TV Anchor Bhavana Hails Dhoni's CSK Video, Gets Abused By Vijay Fans; Know Why

Days ago, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) released a video as the countdown for the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) began.

Sharing the video, the CSK captioned the clip: "A gift for the fans." - THA7A FOREVER!" The clip has garnered over 34 lakh 'likes', so far.

The introduction scene of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the clip was inspired by a popular scene from Vijay's 'Leo', leading to a surge of interest among Thalapathy fans. Like many fans, TV Anchor Bhavana Balakrishnan too was impressed with the clip and wrote, "Better than the original scene 🔥🔥🔥 #whistlepodu."

This did not go well with Vijay fans as she said that this was better than the original. So, she was attacked by a section of netizens.

Later on Thursday, Bhavana Balakrishnan shared a picture of her with former Indian cricket captain of women's team Mithali Raj. She captioned the photo: "A fab afternoon spent with the RANI of Indian Cricket 🔥
@mithaliraj , you are such a STAR! Not just for what you've achieved but also for being the calmest co passenger while I drove around Delhi for the first time in a brand new car 😉😂
Hope to have many more of these chats ( hopefully ones where I'm not multitasking )
Good luck for the rest of the season💪👍
You can catch our convo soon on @espncricinfo :)."

Many Vijay used this as an opportunity and said that Mithali Raj was looking better than her. A user said, "She is looking better than you 🥱#betterthanoriginal." However, she responded to the said Vijay fan saying, "haha! And that's your opinion. Don't worry, I won't abuse you :)"

The user shot back saying, "You won't abuse .Cause you already got attention ryt 😂😂😂An wise man once said that if you want to be popular, you have to attack popular people #Growup."

The TV anchor then tried to explain that she was not attacking anyone and sharing her opinion. Bhavana said,"userbruno1 is that what you are doing ? 🤣🤣 cos I attacked no one, I shared an opinion and that didnt demean anyone! They know it, it's sad you don't. #getalife !"

She also asked an abuser who demanded her to respect Vijay before passing such a comment.

The 2024 Indian Premier League will be held from 22 March to 26 May 2024. The first match will be played between the CSK and RCB.
