When Sanaya Irani fans called Ankita Sharma ‘****’, ‘vamp’ and what not on Twitter

The friendly cricket match between the two teams of Colors’ Rangrasiya and Beintehaa (to celebrate the shows’ 100 episodes completion) was a super-duper hit with Ashish Sharma’s team winning the trophy after a magnificent display of their cricketing skills.

The loyal fans of the shows had quite a lot to cheer and talk about, but the conspicuous absence of the two gorgeous leading ladies of the shows, Sanaya Irani and Preetika Rao brought about a sad feeling amongst the fans.

Ever since the match was played, the fans of Saurabh Tewari’s show Rangrasiya have had a debate going on various social networking sites including Twitter, Facebook etc. Rather than calling it a debate, we can as well term it as a blatant attack on one of the actors of the show!!

So what is it that triggered such an uneventful argument in the open? And who is the actor facing the brunt?

Well, the very fact that Sanaya Irani, the female lead of Rangrasiya, was not present to cheer her team gave her fans a heart-break. And the result of this was that, the fans took against the presence of Ankita Sharma, the lead antagonist on the show.

Here we are giving you more insight on the manner in which Ankita was abused and character-assassinated on social networking sites.

Well, the so-called anti-Ankita fans questioned why the lady was there on the cricketing field cheering for Team Rangrasiya when the lead protagonist Sanaya Irani herself was missing. They tarnished her image by calling her a ‘****’, a ‘vamp’ and what not…

So how did Ankita react to such rude words talked about her by a certain group of fans? We decided to ask the lady herself…

Reacting to the Twitter controversy, a calm and composed Ankita told us, “See, it is very difficult for anyone to demoralize the person inside me (smiles). If these accusations had come when I was a newcomer, it could have affected me. But now, I have seen life and have been in this industry for quite some time to understand things. I would take all this as an appreciation for my work. The fans hate me as Laila on the show, and that only means that I am doing my job perfectly well. And if their negativity comes out beyond a point and spills out in real life too, I am not dejected at all. It will only boost my morale as an actor.”

Adding more on her point of view, Ankita stated, “See, I am Laila only for 12 hours. Beyond that, I have a life and I am a completely different person. I would also like to tell fans who create this animosity by calling themselves ‘Sanaya fans and anti-Ankita fans’ that I share a good bond with Sanaya off-screen. We actually share our food ‘dabbas’ on the sets during lunch. We have a good time on sets when we are not shooting. So why is it that you create groups within yourselves, when we both are friends in real life? Rangrasiya is an example of a perfect ‘team-effort’, and you have to appreciate every actor working in the show for the work done.”

Well-said, Ankita!!

We later buzzed Producer Saurabh Tewari to know his point of view on the recent bashing the Ankita received at the hands of the show’s fans. The man said, “Ankita is an awesome performer, very professional and a real rockstar. The show has picked up after her track came back. She is equally important to the show as Sanaya and Ashish. Regarding fans calling her names, I can only say that such fans are sick and we cannot take psychos seriously. I would also say that the true Sanaya fans respect everyone associated with the show. Bashers are the ones who are either anti-Sanaya and anti-RR or psychos.”

Guess this is simply a result of ‘hero-worship’, in this case the devotion and love that fans have for Sanaya Irani. Accepted that Sanaya missed the cricket match for reasons known only to her. But is it fair to admonish the other actor present, Ankita?
