Mumbai: Anusha Dandekar was one of the hosts at The Great Indian Musical held recently at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai. A video from the event was widely shared online, where VJ Anusha met Gauri Khan and daughter Suhana Khan, and seemingly requested them for a byte, but Gauri appeared to have refused it. Now, Anusha has issued a clarification on the video.
The video shows Anusha convincing the mother-daughter duo for a byte. However, Gauri seemingly refused Anusha to take Suhana’s interview. The particular moment was caught on camera.
A section of social media users trolled Anusha as they felt Gauri and Suhana ignored her. Some slammed her for forcing Gauri and Suhana to give interviews. “Kya gazab bezati hai yaar,” a social media user wrote. “Anusha wants to use SRK family to get into the limelight,” another one wrote.
After facing backlash, Anusha took to Instagram and hit back at the trolls.
Taking to Instagram Stories, Anusha wrote, “The constant controversy you are trying to create just because you want to be haters and just because you are so called fans of people who weren’t at this event, you want to make sure I somehow come out looking bad, well sorry I can’t be part of your plan. Some people don’t like to give interviews and never have and that’s totally okay. And some have to wait for their release till they do any interviews. THE END. I think I did a great job and I’m really good at what I do…but no one’s stopping you to try my job if you have so many opinions. I wish you happiness, so you will finally stop being bullies. x”
The mother-daughter did not give interview to Anusha at the event but Shah Rukh spoke to her in detail.
Lauding Nita Ambani’s vision for the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, Shah Rukh Khan said, “Nita has spent so many years trying to get this. I’ve known that, I think 10 to 12 years back, we’ve been discussing this and she’s been talking to me. She showed me the blueprint. It was designed in a bigger way, differently. Now it’s designed very differently. And it is such a spirit of passion here. It’s such a journey of passion.”
