From
Anushka
Sharma
to
Sakshi
Singh
Dhoni,
we
have
often
seen
the
wives
of
sportspersons
getting
subjected
to
trolls
whenever
their
better
halves
failed
to
perform
on
the
field.
There
have
been
instances
when
the
star
wives
have
hit
back
at
the
unsavoury
comments
on
social
media.
Recently,
while
speaking
to
Hindustan
Times,
actress
Geeta
Basra
who
is
married
to
Indian
cricketer
Harbhajan
Singh,
opened
up
about
cricketers'
spouses
being
targeted
for
their
poor
performances.
Geeta
Basra
Says
People
Need
Some
Kind
Of
Excuse
Or
Scapegoat
The
actress
told
the
leading
daily,
"People
who're
die
hard
fans
of
the
sport,
they
need
some
kind
of
excuse,
or
scapegoat.
For
them,
wives
and
girlfriends
are
easy
targets.
They
target
them
and
say
it
happened
because
of
them,
they're
a
bad
omen,
but
don't
say
anything
when
someone
does
perform
well."
'People
Find
It
Easy
To
Go
Into
The
Negative
Zone,' Says
Geeta
Basra
Talking
about
how
the
mind
of
trolls
work,
Geeta
elaborated,
"It's
easy
to
be
more
negative
than
it's
to
be
positive.
People
find
it
easy
to
go
into
the
negative
zone
and
demolish
someone,
throw
remarks
at
someone,
blame
and
curse
someone,
than
praise
them.
They
say
‘Because
of
her,
he
performed
bad'.
Us
wives
are
not
going
and
playing
for
them,
neither
are
we
a
part
of
the
team
or
training
them.
It's
jut
easy
to
make
wives
the
soft
targets."
Geeta
Basra
Says
She
Never
Let
Trolls
Affect
Her
The
Dil
Diya
Hai
actress
admitted
that
she
too
would
get
trolled
whenever
her
husband
Harbhajan
Singh
failed
to
perform
in
his
matches.
However,
she
never
let
these
things
get
to
her.
Geeta
Basra
tied
the
knot
with
Harbhajan
Singh
on
29
October
2015
in
Jalandhar,
Punjab.
The
couple
was
blessed
with
a
baby
girl,
Hinaya
Heer
Plaha
in
2016.
