In the wake of vicious messages on social media against her husband and cricketer Stuart Binny, sports presenter Mayanti Langer hit out strongly at online media trolls on Thursday.
Stuart was hit for five sixes in a single over in the first T20 match against West Indies in the recently concluded series played in the US. Soon after, social media trolls took a series of potshots at the cricketer.
Some of the social media reactions suggested that Binny should consider suicide or Mayanti should file for divorce after the poor performance.
Her statement read, "I hope no one ever demands the death of your loved ones or sends you violent images threatening the same. Taunting me with suicide is shameful. Think of the families that suffer because of this tragedy and you have reduced their plight to a joke,"
"I hope bullying us made you feel better about yourselves, cause otherwise was it really worth it?" she added.
