Goal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao. Selfies lo. Khaali haat wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity.<\/p>\n

— Shobhaa De (@DeShobhaa) August 8, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After socialite and writer Shobha De called India’s participation in the Rio Olympics a waste of money and resources in one of her tweets, she was criticized for her irresponsible and nasty comment by sportspersons, celebs and public alike. After getting befitting replies from some sportspersons, including Beijing Olympics gold medallist Abhinav Bindra and former hockey captain Viren Rasquinha, actors including Abhishek Bachchan, Arjun Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha too got on to twitter and gave her befitting reply to the lady.<\/p>\n

Here are their tweets in reply to Shobha De’s tweet:<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, winning is the goal. But representing your country at the Olympics is a HUGE deal too regardless of the results. Proud of r athletes.<\/p>\n

— Abhishek Bachchan (@juniorbachchan) August 9, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Lions dont lose sleep over the opinions of sheep. N champions dont lose sleep over opinions of the ignorant. INDIA is proud of u. #Rio2016<\/a><\/p>\n

— AKIRA\/Sonakshi Sinha (@sonakshisinha) August 9, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Everyone has an opinion about our athletes at Rio, wish everyone with an opinion had once tried to even represent their country.#IndiaAtRio<\/a><\/p>\n

— Arjun Kapoor (@arjunk26) August 9, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

@Abhinav_Bindra<\/a> And do so despite of and in spite of there being no infra & institutional support, and no sporting culture @DeShobhaa<\/a><\/p>\n

— Gul Panag (@GulPanag) August 9, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Lots of lament about medal tally, but no lament about lack of fitness culture (which builds a sporting nation) @Abhinav_Bindra<\/a> @DeShobhaa<\/a><\/p>\n
