In her post, Shresta said:
“It’s honestly disappointing to see people stoop so low as to blame the family for simply showing up to support.
Whether we’re physically present or cheering from afar, our support for the team is unwavering.
To those pointing fingers at me ,your shallow mindset is not only laughable, it’s embarrassing. I’ve been there for countless matches ,India’s and others – and most of them ended in victory. But I guess when you’re busy trolling from behind a screen, facts don’t matter.
Also, she added:
I am, and always will be, a proud and positive supporter of my brother and his team. Your baseless criticism doesn’t shake me ..it just shows your ignorance.
Win or lose, I’ll be right there supporting them, because that’s what real support looks like. Today just wasn’t their day. But losses are a part of the game ,something you’d know if you had ever done more than type out hate online.
So next time, think twice before coming for someone who’s actually doing what you can’t … Showing up!!
