Smriti Mandhana Opens Up About Trolls Over Her Muscles

Indian women’s cricket star Smriti Mandhana has once again become the center of discussion on social media. This time, the popular cricketer spoke openly about being trolled for having muscular arms and a fit body.

Smriti Mandhana said that she once wore a dress where her arms were clearly visible. After those photos appeared online, many people started trolling her for having muscles. Speaking about the issue, she said it was funny that people criticized an athlete for being strong and fit.

Smriti Mandanna in latest interview said, “Having muscles is actually a good thing because athletes work very hard in the gym to maintain their fitness. Sportswomen train every day to keep their bodies strong, healthy, and ready for competition. Fitness should be appreciated instead of mocked.”

She added that but people trolled me for having a good muscle. Her statement quickly received support from cricket fans and many social media users. Several people praised her confidence and said women athletes should never be body-shamed for looking strong. Fans also pointed out that male cricketers rarely face such comments about their bodies, while women athletes are often judged based on appearance instead of performance.

This is not the first time Smriti Mandhana faced online trolling. In the past, photos from a Bengaluru event also attracted negative comments about her appearance. However, many supporters defended her strongly and reminded everyone about her achievements in international cricket.
