Talking about the backlash received by Paatal Lok, a BJP MLA even asked Virat Kohli to divorce Anushka Sharma as he considers her to be anti-Indian. An MLA names Nandkishor Gurjar was quoted saying, 'Virat Kohli desh bhakt hai, desh k liye khele hai. Anushka ko talak de dena chahiye' (Virat is a nationalist as he has played for the nation, he should divorce Anushka).
