Actress Anushka Sharma, who is also the wife of Indian cricket star Virat Kohli, has found herself at the center of an unexpected social media controversy after sharing a post about homeopathy. What began as a personal endorsement quickly turned into a heated online debate about alternative medicine and scientific evidence.
The controversy started when Anushka shared a video on Instagram featuring renowned homeopathic physician Rajan Sankaran. Along with it, she wrote that homeopathy had played an important role in her life and that she had personally benefited from it.
The post immediately drew trolling from a section of social media users and healthcare professionals. Many followers argued that homeopathy lacks strong scientific evidence to support many of its claims and questioned whether celebrities should promote treatments that remain controversial within the medical community.
Public figures have a large influence on their followers and should be cautious when discussing health-related topics. Such endorsements could encourage people to choose treatments that may not have sufficient scientific backing.
At the same time, Anushka also received strong support online. Supporters argued that she was merely sharing her personal experience and never advised anyone to stop conventional medical treatment. Many homeopathy users claimed they too had benefited from similar treatments and felt that people should be free to discuss healthcare approaches that have worked for them.
The discussion has now grown far beyond Anushka’s original post. It has evolved into a larger debate about homeopathy, evidence-based medicine, celebrity influence, and public responsibility.
As the controversy continues to trend online, many are waiting to see whether Anushka chooses to respond further or clarify her remarks. For now, the debate shows no signs of slowing down.
