Manu Bhaker, the renowned pistol shooter, made India proud by clinching two medals in a single edition of the 2024 Olympic Games. Upon her return to Delhi on Wednesday, she received a warm welcome from a huge crowd gathered at the airport to celebrate her achievements.
Actor John Abraham had the chance to meet Manu Bhaker and shared the joyous moment on Instagram. In the photo, both are seen smiling, with John holding one of Manu’s medals while the other hangs around her neck. However, this post has stirred controversy online.
John Abraham faces backlash for his gesture, as many social media users felt he should not have touched Manu’s medal. “Had the pleasure of meeting Manu Bhaker and her lovely family. She has made India proud!! Respect,” John captioned the photo. Despite his positive sentiment, the image sparked criticism.
Some of the comments read: “You shouldn’t have touched the medal,” “Sorry, but you have no right to touch the medal won by someone else,” and “Wo sab theek h! You should not have held the medal won by her! She has two hands to hold both the medals! You could have simply had a fan moment with her.” Another user noted, “Why is he holding the medal?”
On the work front, John Abraham faces backlash but is set to captivate audiences with his action-packed film ‘Vedaa’, which also features Sharvari Wagh in the female lead. Directed by Nikkhil Advani, the film is slated for release on Independence Day, August 15, 2024.
