Their personal lives were themselves not a circus either. They weren't moving around holding hands or writing "my love" stuff, putting their personal lives in public domain the way VK did.

Why is he so up in his own ass 🥱

@atominis - at the end of the day it's a sport. You win some you lose some. You play well in some games, you don't in others. It's not the end of the world if you lose or have a poor performance. I'm a fan of a football team that almost always makes it to the super bowl, but they can't win it all the time. As a sports fan, you must understand that. And a lot of people are a fan of the players first too and then the sport. If I have the slightest interest in sports it's because of players like Tendulkar, Brady, Beckham.

celebrity status is two way sword when u get so much fame nd adulation then be prepared for brickbat. When u milk the couple role in times of success through media credit nd ad endorsement then why cant u take critics. Atleast people give so much admiration to cricketer which is rare to other field of sports. There is something that people like so much in player like tendulkar which kohli lacks.

If you actually see the video, his face reflects anything but arrogance. He didn't mean to put others down, but just mentioned how his contribution towards cricket is being bought down to 0 only because of one match. And he did play consistently.

N he is compared to Sachin 😆

Shut up and do your job.
Dont try to play the victim card now. Prove that you are still worth it with action not such interviews.
Learn from the legends who came before you - they all had successful careers and lives. They all have a love life too .
You put your love life on public display and then expect not be judged?
How many times have you seen a Tendulkar, Dhoni or Dravid blow kisses to their GF when on the pitch? They all got married/were dating when they were in the middle of their careers.
These people love the limelight when everyone is gushing over them - a little bit of criticism and they sulk like 4 year olds.

LOL. Dude you didn't play well. You WILL be blamed. Simple.

Sorry.

The interest in the sport is due to ABILITY of players like Sachin. Not just the player himself.

This is not like films where someone likes you maybe for looks, style, charisma or your self made story only and might excuse your poor acting and poor choice of scripts etc.

Play exceptionally well, you get attention. That's it.

Why do you think people are so joyous if they win? It's not like conquering the world either.

The end of the world argument doesn't apply to sports.

I only accept that fans shouldn't do things like pelting stones or other exaggerated stuff like sending bangles, breaking TV sets or burning effigies. But otherwise criticism and scrutiny are bound to follow for a poor show.

You like a player for his ability and SKILL. If he fails to perform at a stage where he is expected the most, to perform then criticism will follow. The happiness should itself tell these people how passionate and serious public is and how they will react if there's loss.

Even those who know nothing about the sport, pay attention to victory or defeat. That's because it's a matter of national pride.

There's no need to play victim here. Or get this defensive. Either keep mum and let dust settle down or take responsibility.
