IPL girls and undue stalking: As RCB girl talks about abuse, new MI girl goes viral

"RCB girl" or Deepika Ghose's outburst comes just as another girl, Aditi Hundia, who came to watch IPL finale between MI and CSK has gone viral,

Deepika Ghose, recently being termed as "RCB match girl", has been stealing headlines from the last Saturday, when she appeared for a few moments on the big screen during the SRH vs RCB match and shot to fame. Although she says that she is grateful for the love that's been pouring in, especially on Instagram where she gained lakhs of followers overnight, she is also disturbed due to the "abuse, trauma and mental torture" that has come with apparently "unwanted" fame.

Deepika Ghose's outburst comes just as another girl who came to watch IPL finale between MI and CSK has gone viral, with courtesy of the cameraman. Her name is Aditi Hundia and she is also the winner of Miss Supranational India 2018 contest.

Although she was quite used to fame already, but her Instagram followers have also jumped substantially after her few moments on the big screen during MI vs CSK match.

But the question that arises is whether this stalking behaviour is acceptable? People search for social media accounts of females they see on TV and even on roads apparently and then starts the saga of endless stalking.

Deepika Ghose in her post on Instagram revealed that not only men but she also received hate from women and highlighted how this world needs more women supporting and uplifting each other.

My name is Deepika Ghose & that is probably the only thing that is being said about me which is 100% TRUE. It all started on the Saturday of the RCBxSRH IPL match. I have been attending RCB matches for many years. It has become a family tradition to watch, cheer and support our Bengaluru team. When we went for the match on May 4th, I did not expect it to be different. I did not want any recognition or realise the number of times that I was on camera. I am no celebrity, just an ordinary girl who was enjoying the match. I did nothing to warrant the kind of attention that ensued after the TV images appeared & I certainly did not seek it. I have much to be proud of - I am a kind, artistic & hardworking woman. I am well educated, well-travelled and well loved by my friends and family. I have many talents and have excelled at my work as a stylist and as a dancer/teacher/entrepreneur. I do NOT consider being seen on TV at an IPL match an achievement. Many people ask me how my life has changed. It has NOT! The only thing that has changed is the number of my Instagram followers. I am as much in shock as all of you. While I am grateful for the love, I am disturbed by the unnecessary negativity. It has been an extreme case of abuse, trauma and mental torture. I am confused as to how people found my name/profile. My identity, privacy & life have been hacked in an instant. A lot of the overnight followers are men who have used this platform to be crude, vulgar, vicious & entirely disrespectful. Even more shocking is the hate I have received from women. How quick & cruel you have been to say mean things to & about me without even knowing me. I AM ONE OF YOU! The world desperately needs more women supporting & uplifting each other. I am appalled by how I have been judged & condemned instead of being given a compassionate hearing. Stop & think about how it is as a girl to have been subjected to this unwanted attention. So many people have asked me why they should follow me - and you are right to question this. Now that this has happened, I am going to turn this into something genuine, meaningful & fabulous. Yes, I am #theRCBgirl but I am SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

It is important to ensure that these women are given due respect and their lives are not filled with unnecessary negativity.
