Former India cricketer Pragya Ojha lashed out at fans for circulating a sensitive video of legendary actor Dharmendra who was recently hospitalised after experiencing breathlessness. A clip of his hospital room went viral, where his son Sunny Deol can be heard crying about his father's health.
Ojha, who is a part of the Ajit Agarkar-led BCCI selection panel, reckons that some moments are personal and deserve to remain private. He urged the fans not to engage or amplify it.
"Deeply disappointed to see a very sensitive video of a legendary actor being circulated. Some moments are personal and deserve to remain private. In times like these, the least we can do is show empathy and respect. A humble request, please don’t engage or amplify it" posted Pragya Ojha on 'X'.
