Sanjana Ganesan Defends Son Angad After Viral Video and Trolling

Jasprit Bumrah's one-year-old son, Angad, recently became the subject of online trolling after a video of his reaction during an IPL 2025 match went viral. In the match, Bumrah took four wickets, including a remarkable three wickets in one over, leading Mumbai Indians to a 54-run victory over Lucknow Supergiants. During this thrilling moment, a video capturing Angad's reaction caught the attention of fans. However, the viral video soon turned into the target of online trolls who criticized the child for not smiling.

The trolling prompted a furious response from Angad's mother, Sanjana Ganesan, who took to social media to express her frustration. She posted a strongly worded message on her Instagram story, condemning those who made fun of her son. Sanjana emphasized that her son is not a subject for online entertainment and that both she and Bumrah make conscious efforts to shield him from the scrutiny of social media. She made it clear that they attend matches to support Bumrah, not to have their child’s moments exploited for viral content.

Sanjana further criticized the use of terms like "trauma" and "depression" when referring to a child, calling it a reflection of the troubling nature of online behavior. She pointed out that netizens don't know anything about their personal life and, therefore, should refrain from making judgments. Her message concluded with a plea for more kindness and honesty in the online community, urging people to keep their opinions to themselves.

Angad's cuteness and occasional lack of visible emotion had made him a popular figure on social media, but this incident served as a reminder of the challenges that come with public scrutiny of even the youngest family members of celebrities.
