On January 4th, Vidya Balan, known for her role in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, shared a message on X (previously Twitter), expressing support for Rohit Sharma and his brave decision to withdraw from the Sydney Test between India and Australia. In her post, she wrote, “Rohit Sharma, you’re truly a STAR! Taking time to rest and rejuvenate takes courage… Keep going strong… Respect! @ImRo45.

Contrary to some speculations, Ms. Balan is not particularly fond of sports, but she appreciates those who display grace under pressure.
