Actor Anushka Sharma, whose presence in a Team India group photo in London had attracted severe criticism online, yesterday declined to get drawn into the controversy, saying she does not engage with trolls. Anushka said her presence in the group photo did not flout any norms.


"Whoever had to make a clarification that has been made. This was a trolling activity. I don't react to trolls, I don't give attention to them. Whatever happened, has happened within the guidelines. Whatever will happen, will always happen within the guidelines. This is a topic of absolutely no substance," said Anushka.



The photograph in which Anushka and her husband Virat Kohli, are seen standing in the front, was taken at the Indian High Commissioner's office in London during an official dinner. The Board Of Control For Cricket In India, which shared the picture on their official Twitter handle, also faced backlash from fans who claimed the cricket body had flouted norms by not inviting wives or girlfriends of other cricketers. BCCI sources later told a leading daily that Anushka's presence was within the guidelines.
