Anusmriti Sarkar continues to receive hate for her rumored relationship with a cricketer, Bhuvneshwar Kumar

How much is too much?

~South Indian star, Anusmriti Sarkar continues to receive hate for her rumored relationship with a cricketer, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

 

It’s no joke that celebs have always faced a huge problem when it comes to negative publicity! This has been no exception for our very own Anusmriti Sarkar who was allegedly said to be dating the international cricket star, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Upon investigation, we found out that the ‘Ishta Sakhi’ actress has been receiving a lot of hate messages on all her social media platforms, in particular Instagram.

She recently posted a reply to all the hater asking them ‘why so much hate’ and that they should be spreading love!

The hate messages have been taking a toll on the actress on an emotional and mental level. She posted later in the evening to all her fans thanking them for their love and support.

People should at least have the decency to verify the facts before you join the mob and play ‘witch hunting’ with other people’s lives!

We tried to get in touch with the actress but she was unavailable for further comments.

Through her songs she wishes to portray the diversity and power of modern Indian women and girls. She has been performing at music festivals internationally as a young pop artist from India.

The video is India’s 1st Virtual Reality Music Video, it is a new brand of i-pop music (Indian pop, immersive pop). The technology in the video gives an immersive experience that builds a connection with the audience. The video depicts how VR technology can be used in diverse ways, a perfect visual interpretation rendered by internationally renowned filmmaker from New York ‘Blake Farber’ and light and design by John Engstrom.



Delighted on the launch, a jubilant Avanti Nagral said, “I feel incredibly blessed to have amazing parents and a wonderful team who have given me the opportunity to bloom, and have supported all of my endeavors. As an artist, I feel that there is a huge potential for young pop music in India. I hope to explore that segment and create recognition for Indian pop artists internationally. We have immense talent and passion, and I hope to, in my work, embody the voice of today’s generation, and the message of the future. I will relentlessly work for socially relevant and sensitive national and global issues through my music, performances, and otherwise.”

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Blake Farber – New York City based music video director stated, “I couldn’t have done this video without the Avanti's massive help in producing it. The way she organized everything - from casting to location to logistics, and helped so much with all the little stuff, was flawless. In India, people are so technologically advanced, so it’s time for VR technology to take forth - with the minds and the genius of Indians, who knows WHAT they can create with this! Cutting-edge technology; never been done before in South Asia; one of the few such Music Videos globally.  The video was shot on the Nokia OZO”.
