Goa, April 9 -- The controversy began after the Punjab Kings versus Kolkata Knight Riders fixture was abandoned due to rain, resulting in both teams sharing one point. Following the match, Shresta-who is a professional dancer and choreographer-posted a light-hearted video wearing a Punjab Kings jersey, joking that Punjab had "given" KKR one point because Punjabis are big-hearted.

Responding to the backlash, Shresta said she deleted the video because it had been "misunderstood" by some viewers. She clarified that the post was meant purely in jest and not to insult anyone.
