Shreyas Iyer’s sister, Shresta Iyer, has spoken in support of her viral ‘Ditta Ek Point’ reel from Indian Premier League 2026. Within the video, she mocked Kolkata Knight Riders after their rain-hit league match against Punjab Kings ended with out a result, implying Punjab had “handed” Kolkata some extent when KKR had not yet opened their account on the points table.
Throughout the premiere episode of the fact show Lock Upp, host Riteish Deshmukh questioned Shresta concerning the reel, noting that many KKR fans felt offended by the remark. Responding to this, the choreographer said there was no intention to harm anyone and described the reel as light-hearted banter. Shresta said:
“Maine kisi ke sentiments hurt nahi kiye hai (I didn’t hurt anyone’s sentiments). I believe it was just fun banter. Sports mein aise fun banters hote rehte hai (Such fun banters are common in sports).”
Shresta Iyer faced significant trolling over the reel after Punjab Kings missed out on a playoff spot despite a formidable begin to their Indian Premier League 2026 campaign. Led by Shreyas Iyer, PBKS remained unbeaten for seven consecutive matches early within the season, but their form dipped within the latter half, leading to a fifth-place finish with 15 points.
Shreyas Iyer’s Sister Removes ‘Ditta Ek Point’ Reel Amid Threats
Shresta Iyer removed the viral reel following intense backlash from fans. She shared that the video also led to several threatening messages. The 28-year-old clarified that she didn’t delete the post out of guilt or because she believed she had made a mistake, but fairly to scale back the growing negativity online.
Shresta wrote on her Instagram story:
“I’ve decided to take down my recent video because it seems it was misunderstood by some. It was meant to be light-hearted banter, but I respect that not everyone saw it that way. Nevertheless, it’s been quite upsetting to receive not only negativity, but in addition a couple of threat messages over it.”
“That’s something I didn’t expect, especially for something that was never intended to harm anyone. I’m not removing the video because I consider I did something fallacious, but because I respect my brother and his team, and I don’t want this space to show into one stuffed with negativity… Let’s attempt to be a little bit kinder and more understanding with one another.”
