The breakup was accompanied by a surge of online trolling directed at Negi. Anshumat Srivastava, a professional tennis player and close friend of cricketer Ishan Kishan, quickly took to social media to defend her.

In a statement on his Instagram Stories, Srivastava urged fans to be compassionate. He wrote, "Be kind. You never know what someone is quietly fighting. "I usually refrain from putting up stories like this, but I can’t be quiet when an individual who means a whole lot to me is being put down for no reason." He further noted that "tearing someone down for clicks" is unacceptable and asked followers to respect the emotional weight of the transition.
