Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are two of the most influential personalities. People scrutinize all their minute steps and actions. And that’s precisely why the actress’ recent Instagram post about homeopathy went viral with discussions turning into debates and even trolls.

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a type of alternative medicine based on the belief that the body can cure itself. Developed in the late 1700s in Germany, homeopathy uses tiny amounts of natural substances, such as plants and minerals, to trigger the healing process.

The debate around the medicine and its effect were brought back to spotlight, which faded away and almost disappeared in between. It affirms her clout and a voice that matters and which comes with a sense of responsibility.

The debate that took over social media

“Virat Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma is recommending homeopathy to Indians. Fraud babas are not enough, she is now promoting unscientific fraud medicine to Indians. Give them enough money and they might one day tell people, ‘Just visit Premanand Maharaj to cure all your diseases.”

“More than 60M people follow you Anushka and you promote homeopathy on your story?? I have seen many people who denied proper medicine and died using these things in the name of belief and you freaking promote that?? Is this what that fraud Baba has been telling you?? OMG!”

“What is wrong with Anushka Sharma suddenly? Who promotes homeopathy of all things? As if promoting fraud babas wasn’t enough, now she is promoting fraud medicine.” A separate post read, “Anushka Sharma is now endorsing quackery like Homeopathy. This is one level worse than endorsing fraud babas.”
