Shekhar Gupta slammed both Randeep Hooda and Virender Sehwag saying:

@ShekharGupta @virendersehwag what’s sad is that the poor girl is being used as political pawn and it seems you are a party to it ..

However, Shekar Gupta wasted no time to reply saying that Gurmehar was no “pawn” but a “strong”, “thinking” adult who has an opinion.
You’re welcome to call me what u want. She’s no “poor girl” or “pawn.” She’s a strong, thinking adult who speaks her mind, handle patriarchy https://t.co/cKhgAumFcf

Gurmehar herself stepped in and cleared the air saying that she was no pawn and was against all kinds of violence. To which, the actor responded that even he agreed with her opinion on violence, her post could be interpreted in many other ways.
