During the show, the two cricketers made comments that were deemed inappropriate and offensive by many viewers.
Rahul and Hardik were in Australia when the episode was broadcast. However, the controversy that ensued forced them to cut short their tour and return to India prematurely.
Rahul recently appeared on Nikhil Kamath’s YouTube podcast, which also featured guests Kriti Sanon and Badshah. During the conversation, he candidly discussed a past controversy that had a profound impact on his life. Rahul expressed that the experience left him deeply scarred and changed him as a person as well.
“I used to be good with trolling. I used to think I don’t care. I was much younger back then. Couple of years back, I was exposed to a lot of trolling. If I sat I got trolled, If I stood I got trolled,” he said.
“The interview was a different world. That changed me. Completely changed me. I was a very soft-spoken person growing up. Then I played for India and became very confident. People will know I have been in a room of 100 people.”
“Now I don’t because that interview scarred me massively. Getting suspended from the team. I have never been suspended in school, punished in school. I don’t know how to handle it. I did mischief in schools but nothing to get me expelled from school or my parents have come,” he added.
Rahul is currently preparing for the 2024 Duleep Trophy, aiming to secure a spot in the Indian Test squad for the upcoming series against Bangladesh.
