On the evening of June 16, both Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli shared a video, where Sharma was seen schooling a man for throwing plastic on the streets, while seated in his car.
Thanks to the collective stardom of both of them, the video quickly went viral. "Why are you throwing plastic on the streets? Please be careful, you can't be throwing plastic around like that. Use a dustbin," she was heard saying in the video.
Saw these people throwing garbage on the road & pulled them up rightfully. Travelling in a luxury car and brains gone for a toss. These people will keep our country clean? Yeah right! If you see something wrong happening like this, do the same & spread awareness. @AnushkaSharmapic.twitter.com/p8flrmcnba

While any rational thinking person would just mend his ways, the man who was shamed has responded to the couple, claiming that Sharma was yelling at him "like a crazy roadside person."
He wrote, "So I happened to carelessly Litter a sq mm of plastic while driving ! A car passing by rolls their window down and there we have our wonderful @anushkasharma ranting and yelling like a crazy roadside person! While I'm apologetic for my carelessness , Mrs Anushka Sharma Kohli a little etiquette and politeness in ur dialogue wouldn't have made u a lesser star !! There are all kinds of manners and hygiene .. verbal etiquette is one of them !"
He further implied that Sharma and Kolhi perhaps did this for some publicity. "The garbage that mistakenly went out of the window of my "luxury car"... Was way less then the garbage that came out from your mouth... From ur "luxury car's" window... Or the trashy mind @virat.kohli to shoot and post this online... For whatever gains... Now thats some serious trash!!!"
If you thought that was it, things got even more dramatic when the said man's mother came into the picture, saying she now fears for her son's safety (!!!)
