Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, has found herself at the centre of a social media storm after calling Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal a "cartoon" during a light-hearted segment on a YouTube show called "Who's the Boss?" The episode, hosted by former cricketer Harbhajan Singh and his wife Geeta Basra, featured Rohit and Ritika in a fun game that unexpectedly stirred online controversy.

The segment involved the hosts showing the couple photos of fellow cricketers and asking for their first thoughts. When a photo of Shikhar Dhawan was shown, Rohit playfully responded with “Jatta.” The next image, however, was of Yuzvendra Chahal. After a brief pause and smile from Rohit, Ritika quickly chimed in, calling Chahal a “cartoon,” and added, “Usually he is a cartoon,” prompting laughter on set.

While the comment seemed to be made in good humour, it didn’t sit well with a section of fans online. The clip quickly went viral, and many social media users began criticizing Ritika for what they felt was an unnecessary and disrespectful remark.

Here's how the Netizens reacted to Ritika's comment:
