Similarly, the wife of Glenn Maxwell, Vini Raman of Indian-Tamil descent, asked Indians to focus on other important matters. She said there is no need to abuse and shame her since she has the right to support the team of her husband and the father of her child.
“Aaaand cue all the hateful vile DMs. Stay classy…can’t believe this needs to be said BUT you can be Indian and also support the country of your birth where you have been raised and more important the team your husband + father of your child plays in.
“take a chill pill and direct that outrage towards more important world issues,” added Vini Raman.
