Former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi has slammed Sreesanth’s wife Bhuvneshwari for her comments on the release of unseen video footage of the IPL 2008 slapgate incident which involved Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth.
Modi was invited as a guest on Michael Clarke’s Beyond23 podcast, where he revealed the unseen footage of Harbhajan delivering a backhanded slap to Sreesanth after an IPL match during the teams’ handshake.
“I don't know why she (Sreesanth's wife Bhuvneshwari) is getting angry. I was asked a question, and I shared the truth. I can't do anything about that. I am known to speak the truth. Sree was the victim, and that's exactly what I said. No one had asked me this question earlier, so when Clarke quipped, I responded,” Modi told IANS.
It’s important to note that both Harbhajan and Sreesanth buried their past and are friends now. However, this unseen video footage unveiling didn’t go down well with Sreesanth’s wife Bhuvneshwari as she took to Instagram to lash out at Modi and Clarke.
“Disgusting, heartless and inhuman. Shame on you @lalitkmodi and @michaelclarkeofficial. You people are not even human to drag up something from 2008 just for your own cheap publicity and views. Both @sreesanthnair36 and Harbhajan have long moved on in life and are fathers now with school-going children, and yet you try to throw them back into an old wound. Absolutely disgusting, heartless, and inhuman,” Bhuvneshwari wrote on her Instagram handle.
“@sreesanthnair36 has rebuilt his life with dignity and grace after every hardship he faced. As his wife and as the mother of his children, it is deeply painful for our family to see this resurface after 18 long years. Families are being forced to relive trauma that was buried decades ago, only so you can chase views. This doesn't just hurt the players; it scars their innocent children who now have to face questions and shame for no fault of theirs,” she wrote.
According to the renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle, the unseen video was kept hidden to save the image of the IPL then, as it was the inaugural season, and making the video public would have harmed the league.
