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.
