Former Indian spinner Amit Mishra is very active on Twitter and he kept his followers updated on various things related to cricket and non-cricket as well. Recently, Mishra jumped into Akshay Kumar's defence, after the Bollywood actor was trolled by fans for his reaction to Richa Chadha's controversial tweet on the Indian Army.
The Indian spin-wizard had earlier slammed Chadha for her reply which didn't go down well with many Indians as it appeared to defame and demean the Indian Army.
Akshay Kumar had also called out Chadha for her tweet on the controversial issue, which led to the actor himself being trolled instead, for holding Canadian citizenship, but Mishra has slammed the veteran actor's critics, schooling them 'hounding those who stand with Indian Army'.
