Abhishek Tripathi's Social Media Post

A Muslim cricketer from Uttar Pradesh is in an affair with a Hindu female anchor (not from the channel, but one anchoring in the league). The anchor's friend revealed that the cricketer tells her, "By the time I return from practice, memorize the ayats." He says, "Now you won't shake hands with any cricketer. You'll do namaste." He made her delete all the bikini photos from Instagram. Preparations for another conversion are underway. Whether this is forced or consensual, only that anchor can tell, but what kind of love is this?
