Indian cricket skipper Virat Kohli and his wife actor Anushka Sharma have been served a legal notice by the person who she scolded for throwing garbage on the road recently. The video of the incident, recorded by Kohli, had gone viral.
According to media reports, Arhhan Singh sent legal notice to Anushka and Virat on Saturday, for “shaming” him on social media in front of millions of online followers of the two celebrities. He reportedly said he is waiting for a response to the notice from Kohli and Anushka.

In the 17-second-long clip, Anushka was seen scolding the man in a chauffeur-driven dark Sedan for littering the streets. The video, however, did not capture the man in the act.
"Why are you throwing garbage on the road, you cannot just throw plastic on the streets just like that," Anushka can be heard saying in the video shared by Kohli on Twitter.
Anushka then asks the man to use a dustbin instead of throwing garbage on the streets.
Kohli had tweeted: "Saw these people throwing garbage on the road & pulled them up rightfully. Travelling in a luxury car and brains gone for a toss. These people will keep our country clean? Yeah right! If you see something wrong happening like this, do the same & spread awareness. @AnushkaSharma."
"Lot of people who don't have the courage to do something like this find it funny. Everything for people nowadays is meme content. Shame," Kohli wrote in another tweet.
The person, who was admonished by Anushka, went on to criticise her for "ranting and yelling" at him "like a crazy roadside person".
"Horrible! So I happened to carelessly litter a square millimetre of plastic while driving! A car passing by rolls their window down and there we have our wonderful Anushka Sharma ranting and yelling like a crazy roadside person!
"While I'm apologetic for my carelessness, Mrs Anushka Sharma Kohli a little etiquette and politeness in your dialogue wouldn't have made you a lesser star! There are all kinds of manners and hygiene... verbal etiquette is one of them!" he had written on Facebook.
(It) was way less then the garbage that came out from your mouth... From your luxury car's window... Or the trashy mind Virat Kohli to shoot and post this online... For whatever gains..." he wrote.
