With a huge fan following on social media, turbanator Harbhajan Singh ’s posts usually elicit positive reactions from his fans and followers. However, when he posted a beautiful Karva Chauth photograph of his wife Geeta Basra on Sunday night, the cricketer and many of his fans were taken aback by the harsh reactions it garnered. Trolls called the festival anti-Sikh and criticised Harbhajan for celebrating it. On his part, Bhajji maintained his cool and took on the trolls in a dignified manner. “Kon se Granth mai likha hai yeh na karo wo na karo .Dharm ke naam par logo ko gumrah mat karo. phle acha insaan bano wohi sabse bada dharm hai,” he tweeted in response to his detractors.Later, in a telephonic chat with us, the cricketer, who is currently in Dharamshala (Himachal Pradesh) for the Ranji Trophy tournament, opened up about the whole controversy.He said, “These are the fanatics, who are trying to dictate to people what they should do and wear. I just want to tell them that it is none of their business whether we celebrate Holi, Diwali, Eid, Christmas or Karva Chauth. Sadly, fanatics of all religions have no life of their own and they want to teach us the meaning of life. They can’t teach us which festivals to celebrate or what to wear.”About Karva Chauth being called anti-Sikh, he said, “All religions teach the lesson of love. Yeh trolls mujhe dharam kya sikhayenge? My parents and elders have taught me that my faith is all about service, compassion, love and protecting those who are helpless! You will find Sikhs leading from the front, whenever there is an earthquake, flood situation or any kind of calamity, serving people of all castes and creeds without any fear. That is true Sikhism, according to me. As a human being, I also have the right to do things that make me happy, without hurting anyone else.”Lamenting the trend of hitting out at the celebs on social media, he added, “It is so convenient to gain two minutes of fame by spewing venom at a celeb. The bigger the celeb, greater the thrill! So, if somebody gets thrills or a virtual medal by hitting out at me on social media, good for him! But I will not allow anyone to tell me how to live my life.”
