Veteran lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar <\/a>recently got into a verbal spat with a person on social media after he was accused of fat-shaming Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It all started when Javed Akhtar posted an appreciation note<\/a> for Virat Kohli on X (formerly Twitter). He praised Virat for his performance in the Champions Trophy semi-final match against Australia.<\/p>\n

Javed Akhtar wrote, “Once again Virat has proved that he is the strongest pillar of today’s Indian cricket’s edifice. Hats off!!.” Reacting to his post, an X user said, “If Virat is the strongest pillar, then who is Rohit Sharma? The heaviest pillar? Shame on you, Javed saab, for fat-shaming the Indian captain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The comment did not sit well with Javed Akhtar, who slammed the troll for the false accusation. He wrote, “Shut up, you cockroach. I have great respect for Rohit Sharma and all the great Indian cricketers of Test history. What kind of a neech and pathetic lair you are that you are claiming that I have ever said a word against dignity of a great player like Rohit. Kabhi socho tum itnay ghatia aur ganday aadmi kyon ho. (Ever wonder why you are such a pathetic and bad person.)\u201d<\/p>\n

Another user said, \u201cAre you ready to prove your nationalism again (laughing with tears emojis)?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

To this, the lyricist responded by saying, \u201cI am a cricket lover and pigmies like you can not stop me from showing my joy when my team wins or any of our players gives a great performance. As far as nationalism is concerned, why would I prove it to people like you since you and your past generations have nothing to do with it. You don’t understand even the meanings of this word.\u201d<\/p>\n
