MS Dhoni gets trolled for remaining silent on the Pahalgam Terrorist Attack

Former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni is facing severe criticism on social media for his alleged silence regarding the Pahalgam terrorist attack that has shaken the entire nation. Detractors argue that as a prominent public figure, Dhoni should have addressed these significant national events.

His alleged silence has not gone well with social media users who urged him to speak up on national issues. He was also earlier targeted for his absence during the Ram Mandir consecration programme. On social media, his last post was about his friend Anant Ambani’s marriage to Radhika Merchant.

Both, Dhoni and Sakshi had attended the marriage and wished the couple on Instagram. Since then, Dhoni has not posted a single post on his Instagram. While his silence has left fans angered, Dhoni has consistently expressed his disinterest in social media, emphasizing that he prefers to let his cricketing achievements speak for themselves.

He has stated, “If I play good cricket, I don't need PR,” highlighting his belief that performance outweighs publicity. He also mentioned that platforms like Twitter often lead to controversies due to misinterpretations, which he aims to avoid.

Despite his limited online presence, Dhoni maintains a massive fan following, with over 48 million followers on Instagram. His supporters argue that expecting political statements from him is misplaced, suggesting that such responsibilities lie with elected officials. They emphasize that Dhoni's role as a sportsman doesn't necessitate public commentary on every national issue.

In an era where many celebrities use social media to voice opinions on various matters, Dhoni's choice to remain silent reflects his personal philosophy and commitment to focusing solely on his sport.
