The renowned Badminton player of our era Saina Nehwal has come to limelight ever since she has announced her divorce. Her husband Parupalli Kashyap and Saina were married for 7 years and they dated for 13 years before their marriage.
The news was announced by Saina through her social media where she clarified that the two have mutually consented to part ways and she expected everyone to understand their decision.
But ever since the news came out, a toxic side of social media overtook the whole matter and started harsh commentary on Saina, her career, character, family and whatnot.
They even asked if Saina, who is considerably richer than her husband, is going to pay alimony to him. Mary Kom was also dragged to the entire matter – her splitting up from her husband – Ongler, and consequent news of her affair was raised on social media.
While many showed support to these international level players who have made India proud, many were quick to hurl abuses and degrade them.
It should be noted that these women are not only brilliant sportspersons but also daughters, mothers and sisters in their personal lives.
What they do with their partners should not be taken out of proportion as two consenting adults can best decide what they want.
At such a time, if one cannot support them, they should also not publicly shame them and let them come clean on their own.
