A video posted by Virat Kohli on social media is creating quite the buzz these days. The video had the ace cricketer and Indian team captain filming his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, giving an earful to the occupant of another car for littering plastic on the road. The video, that went viral within seconds, drew diverse kind of reactions. Many hailed the actions of Anushka, with celebs like Karan Johar and even the Minister of Law Ravi Shankar Prasad hailing her. Then there are others, who felt she was actually bullying the other person and called her out for her social vigilantism. And then there are others made the moment immortal with their memes.

While the memes helped in furthering the cause for which the video existed in the first place, Virat Kohli took complete objection to it. In a reactionary tweet, he wrote, "Lot of people who don't have the courage to do something like this find it funny. Everything for people nowadays is meme content. Shame." Well, while we can understand Virat's annoyance, Twitterati was not exactly okay with the context in which he used the word 'courage' as a label for Anushka's video.

In quite a lot of tweets, many Twitter users told Virat that it isn't courageous to post a video of an ordinary man, even if he is doing something silly, and post it on social media. They are of the view that to call it courageous, Virat should have called out on the behaviour of the people above him. Check out the tweets below -

Lecture not courage

This is not courage @imVkohli, I have seen hundreds giving these 'lectures' on Indian roads every day- Courage is what Hollywood stars and NFL players are doing...standing up against bigotry and authoritarianism. But, you guys show courage crawling in front of the emperor. https://t.co/upixjo9Iff

Call out on politicians instead of common people

Those who live in glass houses...

Too unfair?

Lucky?

We are sure Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma would never have expected these kinds of reactions, when they posted that video in social media!
