'Inappropriate Comment': Netizens React As Ritika Sajdeh Faces Massive Flak For Calling Yuzvendra Chahal A 'Cartoon'

Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, has found herself at the centre of a social media storm after calling Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal a "cartoon" during a light-hearted segment on a YouTube show called "Who's the Boss?" The episode, hosted by former cricketer Harbhajan Singh and his wife Geeta Basra, featured Rohit and Ritika in a fun game that unexpectedly stirred online controversy.

The segment involved the hosts showing the couple photos of fellow cricketers and asking for their first thoughts. When a photo of Shikhar Dhawan was shown, Rohit playfully responded with “Jatta.” The next image, however, was of Yuzvendra Chahal. After a brief pause and smile from Rohit, Ritika quickly chimed in, calling Chahal a “cartoon,” and added, “Usually he is a cartoon,” prompting laughter on set.

Justice for Yuzi 💔

So many things wrong with this

Bad to mock someone for his appearance .

God bless these 4 people with wisdom.

It’s just for fun. Stop taking everything so seriously. If Yuzi has a problem with it, he can talk to her himself

— King (@iamKing1837) June 22, 2025

Such a shameless behaviour, who gave her right to call Yuzi a cartoon...
But now no one will have a problem with it, Imagine the outrage if Anushka Had said that.

Horrible

As of now, neither Ritika nor Rohit Sharma has issued a statement addressing the backlash. The situation serves as another reminder of how quickly moments meant to be humorous can escalate into public controversy in today’s digital age.
