Kangana Ranaut Slams Parents Of Child Who Held Viral Placard At IPL Match

Actress Kangana Ranaut has criticized the parents of a young boy who held up a placard at an Indian Premier League (IPL) match. The boy was attending the Royal Challengers Bangalore's match against the Chennai Super Kings. His image went viral after the placard he was holding up asked Virat Kohli for a date with his daughter, Vamika. Ranaut took to Twitter and criticized the parents. she stated, "Don't teach this nonsense to innocent children, it makes you look vulgar and foolish, not modern or cool."

Many of Ranaut's fans praised her comments. One fan said that the image was nothing compared to the parents who take their children to restaurants with bars where alcohol is available. Other internet users agreed with Ranaut, stating that children are impressionable. They asked for parents to be publicly called out for poor parenting. The image of the boy holding the placard had caused a divide on social media. Many people called out the parents for making such an "insensitive" and "creepy" request to gain attention. Others speculated that the boy was innocent and that it was the parents who had led him astray for a moment of camera time. Earlier this year, Kohli and his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, had asked paparazzi to refrain from taking photos of their daughter, Vamika. "While we will always ensure that you get all the content you need featuring us, we would request you to kindly not take or carry any content that has our child. We know that you will understand where we are coming from, and we thank you for the same," the couple had said in a statement.
