As things stand, the news media outlets and a few others on social media kept sharing images of his injured back, a video of himself after the accident and several such private videos. Anguished by the same, Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, took to Instagram to slam the news outlets for sharing such videos. 

Saying that it violates the privacy of someone, Sajdeh claimed that it was an irresponsible act as it would affect the family of those concerned. Further, Sajdeh claimed that those who uploaded the video did it without the consent of the person involved and said that it was insensitivity, without any kind of journalism.
