‘You should be sued’ – Sreesanth’s wife lashes out at Lalit Modi, Clarke for releasing slapgate video

Lalit Modi and Michael Clarke broke the internet by releasing the unseen footage of the infamous slapgate incident from 2008 that broke out between Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth during the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League. The old clip surfaced across the internet in no time and went viral, breaking several headlines on one of the most controversial episodes in the history of Indian cricket.

After seeing the video, Sreesanth’s wife, Bhuvneshwari, has come forward and strongly condemned the video uploaded by the duo on YouTube for their personal gains, calling the act as cheap and disgusting. She further mentioned that both Sreesanth and Harbhajan have sorted out the differences between them and have long moved on. She took to her official Instagram handle to share the story with the public, which soon caught everyone’s attention.

“Shame on you Lalit Modi and Michael Clarke. You people are not even human to drag up something from 2008 just for your own cheap publicity and views. Both Sreesanth and Harbhajan [Singh] have long moved on, they are fathers now with school-going children, and yet you try to throw them back into an old wound. Absolutely disgusting, heartless, and inhuman,” she wrote in her Instagram story on Friday, August 29.

Bhuvneshwari further went on to say that her husband faced a lot of hardships in his cricketing career, but has overcome all of them with a lot of grace. She further said that the video surfacing on the internet is largely disturbing for families of both the players, especially their children, who will be questioned in the public without being at fault themselves.

“Sreesanth has rebuilt his life with dignity and grace after every hardship he faced. As his wife, and as the mother of his children, it is deeply painful for our family to see this resurface after 18 long years. Families are being forced to relive trauma that was buried decades ago only so you can chase views. This doesn’t just hurt the players, it scars their innocent children, who now have to face questions and shame for no fault of theirs. You should be sued for doing something so cheap and inhumane. Sreesanth is a man of strength and character, and no video can take that dignity away from him. Fear God before you hurt families and innocent children for your own gain,” another story on the same day read.
