Indian cricket player Mohammed Shami has spoken out about the rumors linking him to tennis player Sania Mirza. Some social media posts suggested that Shami and Sania were planning to marry, and fake pictures were shared online. During a conversation with Shubhankar Mishra on YouTube, Shami was asked about these rumors and he criticized those who started and shared this news. He asked people not to spread false information on social media and mentioned that while these jokes might be amusing, they can also cause harm. “I ask everyone to be careful on social media and not share untrue news,” he said.
“Ajeeb hi hai aur hai kya usme? zabardasti kiya hai par kya karien? Phone kholo toh apna hi photo dikhta hai. Lekin mai ek hi cheez bolna chahunga – Kisiko nehi khichna chahiye aisa. Main maanta hu memes aapke mazaak ke liye hai lekin kisi ke life se related hote hai. Toh aapko bari soch samajh kar memes banana chahiye. Aaj aap verified page nehi ho, aapka address nehi hai, known nehi ho toh aap bol sakte ho.” (It’s strange and intentionally done for some silly entertainment. But what can we do? If I check my phone, I might see those memes. However, I want to mention that I believe memes are created for amusement, but if they involve someone’s personal life, we should consider that before sharing them. These individuals share content from unverified sources and can say whatever they want without any consequences).
“Lekin mai ek hi cheez bolna chahunga – agar aap mein dum hai toh verified page se bolke dikhao, fir hum batate hai. Dusre ki taang kheechna bohot aasan hai. Success achieve karo, apna level upar karo. Tab main manunga aap acche insaan hai.”
(I want to mention one thing – if you have the courage to say all these things from an official account, then I will respond. Try to be successful, help others, and improve yourself, and then I will believe you are a good person), Shami added.
