“Throwing around words like depression and trauma for a baby…,” Jasprit Bumrah and wife Sanjana Ganesan slam trolls for targeting son Angad

Indian cricket star Jasprit Bumrah and his wife Sanjana Ganesan have lashed out at trolls after their infant son, Angad, faced insensitive comments online. The backlash erupted after a video showing Sanjana exiting the stadium with Angad following the Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants IPL 2025 match went viral.

In a sharp and emotional statement, Sanjana Ganesan made it clear that their child is off-limits for public mockery and cheap entertainment. “Our son is not a topic for your entertainment,” she wrote, slamming the trolls for dragging an innocent baby into unnecessary online toxicity.

Our son is NOT a topic for your entertainment.

Jasprit and I do everything in our power to keep Angad away from social media because the Internet is a despicable, vile place to be and I completely understand the implications of bringing a child to a cricket stadium filled with cameras, but please understand that Angad and I were there to support Jasprit and nothing else.

We have no interest in our son being viral Internet content or national news, with unnecessarily opinionated keyboard warriors deciding who Angad is, what his problem is, what his personality is, from 3 seconds of footage.

He is one and a half years old. Throwing around words like trauma and depression in reference to a baby says so much about who we’re becoming as a community and it’s honestly really sad. You know NOTHING about our son, nothing about our lives and I request you to keep your opinions online true to that.

A little honesty and a little kindness goes a long way in today’s world. – Sanjana stated.

Bumrah, who starred with a brilliant 4-wicket haul in the game, stood firmly with his wife, reinforcing that their family deserves privacy and respect. The couple’s strong response has sparked massive support from fans and public figures alike, calling for more sensitivity on social media when it comes to children.

The incident highlights the growing need for boundaries between public personalities and their private lives, especially when young children are involved.
