"All eyes on Rafah," read her story which was also posted by several Bollywood actors like Varun Dhawan and Triptii Dimri.

But netizens noticed how these celebrities never tweet or post anything about the problems faced by Indians abroad, like Hindu persecution in Pakistan & Bangladesh, and would rather show their solidarity towards a foreign nation.
Reacting to the backlash, Ritika deleted her Insta story just a couple of hours after posting it online.
Ritika was a regular at IPL 2024 matches where she was seen cheering for Rohit Sharma and the Mumbai Indians. But the team endured their worst season and crashed out in last place during the league stage.
Ritika and Rohit got married in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Samaira three years later. She was Rohit's manager before they began dating after being introduced to each other by former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who is like an elder brother to Ritika.
