Fans Rally Behind Heartbroken Anushka Sharma Amidst Chinnaswamy Stadium Tragedy

Bengaluru, India - The euphoria surrounding Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) historic IPL 2025 victory was tragically overshadowed yesterday by a devastating stampede outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, claiming 11 lives and injuring many more. In the wake of this heartbreaking incident, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, wife of RCB star Virat Kohli, has expressed her profound grief, prompting an outpouring of support from fans across the nation.


Anushka, who had been an integral part of the victory celebrations alongside her husband, took to her official social media channels to share the official statement released by RCB. The statement conveyed the team's deep anguish, stating, "We are deeply anguished by the unfortunate incidents that have come to light through media reports regarding public gatherings all over Bengaluru in anticipation of the team's arrival this afternoon. The safety and well-being of everyone is of utmost importance to us. RCB mourns the tragic loss of lives and extend our heartfelt condolences to the affected families." Anushka accompanied the post with a string of heartbroken emojis, reflecting her personal sorrow.

The stampede occurred as thousands of fans, many without valid entry passes, attempted to gain access to the stadium for a felicitation ceremony planned for the triumphant RCB squad. What began as a joyous occasion quickly spiraled into chaos, with overwhelming crowds and narrow entry points leading to the tragic loss of life.

While some initial reactions online saw a small segment of social media users questioning the presence of players and celebrities during the unfolding tragedy, the overwhelming sentiment from fans has been one of solidarity with Anushka and Virat Kohli. Supporters have flooded her posts with messages of understanding, emphasizing that the responsibility for crowd control and safety protocols lies with the event organizers and local administration, not with the players or their families.

Virat Kohli, equally gutted by the incident, also shared RCB's official statement, expressing that he was "at a loss for words. Absolutely gutted." The couple had been seen celebrating passionately just hours before the tragedy, with Anushka sharing joyous glimpses of the victory parade on her Instagram stories, highlighting the "happy faces" who had "waited for this very lovingly and patiently."

As investigations into the incident are underway, the cricket and entertainment fraternities, along with the entire nation, mourn the lives lost. In this moment of shared grief, fans stand firmly by Anushka Sharma, acknowledging her heartbreak and understanding that the joy of a historic victory has been irrevocably tainted by this profound tragedy.
