The controversy began after Punjab Kings’ IPL 2026 clash against Kolkata Knight Riders was abandoned due to rain. Reacting to the washed-out game, Shresta had posted a video on Instagram joking that Punjab Kings had “gifted” a point to KKR. In the clip, she said, “Saade Punjabiyan da dil vadda hunda ae. Lo, ditta ek point” (We Punjabis have a big heart, so we gave you a point).
The video quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from fans, with some taking offense to the remark.
