Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed found herself at the center of a social media storm after her comments on India captain Rohit Sharma’s weight sparked widespread backlash. Facing criticism from former cricketers, BJP leaders, and even her own party, Mohamed later defended her remarks, insisting they were not meant as body shaming.
In a now-deleted post on X, she wrote, "@ImRo45 is fat for a sportsman! Need to lose weight! And of course, the most unimpressive captain India has ever had!" The post quickly drew strong reactions, prompting her to remove it.
