The web-series Paatal Lok has had the fans gripped in front of their screens ever since it started streaming on OTT platform Amazon Prime on May 15. While it has mostly received praises from all quarters, the series has also sparked a few controversies. The Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) MLA Nandkishor Gurjar has filed an FIR on the producer Anushka Sharma for using his picture without consent.
Moreover, the right-wing MLA has also filed a police case against the Bollywood actor under the National Security Act for creating a communal stir in the society. And now, Nandkishor Gurjar has gone one step further urging Team India captain Virat Kohli to give divorce to his wife Anushka Sharma.
BJP MLA wants Virat Kohli to divorce Anushka Sharma
In a conversation with Newsroom Post, Nandkishor Gurjar stated that no one is bigger than the country. Thus, Virat Kohli shouldn’t tolerate it and has to divorce Anushka Sharma as soon as possible feels the BJP MLA. He also said that this step from the Indian captain will send a strong message to everyone.
“Desh se koi bada nahi hai. Virat Kohli desh ke liye khelte hai aur desh bhakt hai. Unhone Anushka ko turant talak dena chahiye,” he said. (The aforementioned quote roughly translates to – No one is bigger than the country. Virat Kohli is a patriotic person and plays for India. He should divorce Anushka soon. This will send a strong message).

To take it further, Nandkishor Gurjar has also written a letter to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Prakash Javdekar and has requested to ban the streaming of the web series. Meanwhile, a few days ago, Viren Sri Gurung sent a legal notice to Anushka Sharma for allegedly using a casteist slur in the show.
However, Anushka Sharma is yet to comment on this and is currently enjoying the success of her new web-series.
