Australia beat India by six wickets in the ICC World Cup final. So India’s dream of World Cup title was broken once again. There were high expectations from Team India, who won 10 matches in a row and reached the finals. Australian opener Travis Head celebrated a century in the final of the ODI World Cup. He smashed 137 runs in 120 balls and snatched victory away from India.
However, an Indian Bengali model’s public celebration of Australia’s triumph has sparked outrage among some Indians, who have labeled her as a ‘traitor’.
Hemoshree Bhadra, conducted a mock wedding with the Australian cricketer after the World Cup final. In a video shared on social media, Bhadra is seen adorning her forehead with vermilion, a traditional symbol of marriage in India. She also holds an image of Head in her hand and plays conch shells, seeking blessings for her imaginary union.
In the video, Bhadra expresses her admiration for Head, stating, “Placing vermilion in the name of Travis Head is as much a beautiful picture as thinking about this boy, my face turns redder. I wish this could be my husband.”
