She posted a video after a match between her brother&#8217;s side and Kolkata Knight Riders was washed out. The abandoned match ensured that KKR got one point &#8211; their first of IPL 2026 &#8211; after the two teams shared the points. Following the no-result, Shresta put up a hilarious post wearing a PBKS jersey. In the video, she said, &#8220;Saade Punjabiyan da dil vadda hunda ae. Lo, ditta ek point. (We Punjabis are big-hearted. So, we gave you a point).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Later, Shresta revealed in a video that she had been receiving a lot of online hate for the IPL video. On Thursday, Shresta deleted the earlier video.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve decided to take down my recent video as it seems it was misunderstood by some. It was meant to be light-hearted banter, but I respect that not everyone saw it that way. However, it&#8217;s been quite upsetting to receive not just negativity, but also a few threat messages over it. That&#8217;s something I didn&#8217;t expect, especially for something that was never intended to harm anyone,&#8221; Shresta wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not removing the video because I believe I did something wrong, but because I respect my brother and his team, and I don&#8217;t want this space to turn into one filled with negativity. Let&#8217;s try to be a little kinder and more understanding with each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Latest and Breaking News on NDTV\" id=\"story_image_main\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/v1q2bv58_ddd_625x300_09_April_26.jpg\" title=\"Latest and Breaking News on NDTV\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Shresta claimed she had been receiving hate following her earlier post about PBKS giving a point. She added that she was not trolling anybody.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Guys, I don&#8217;t understand why hate is being spread. I mean, it&#8217;s just a game. The videos being made are just for fun, and I am here to support my brother. I will continue to do that. No hate for any team &#8211; it&#8217;s just a game. Everyone should take it sportingly,&#8221; Shresta said in a video shared on her Instagram Story.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I understand aggression. I wasn&#8217;t trolling anybody. It was my way of celebrating, and I am going to continue doing that. I am just here to say no hate for anybody &#8211; only love. It&#8217;s a game; we all should have fun. The rivalry should show, no matter what. There were no personal attacks. Just chill.
