In the clip, she said: \u201cSaade Punjabiyan da dil vadda hunda hai, lo de ditta ek point.\u201d The line translates to, \u201cPunjabis have a big heart. Take the one point.\u201d The short remark was shared widely online, and some users interpreted it as a dig aimed at Kolkata Knight Riders.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cNo hate\u201d message in Instagram story video<\/h2>\n<p>On Tuesday evening, Shresta responded through a video posted on Instagram Stories. She stressed that her comment was not targeted at anyone and that it was meant to be taken in a light, playful spirit rather than as an attack.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>She said she did not understand why \u201chatred\u201d was spreading, calling it \u201cjust a game.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Shresta added that the videos were made for fun and that she was only there to support her brother.<\/li>\n<li>She urged fans to take things sportingly, insisting there was no hate toward any team.<\/li>\n<li>She also noted she understands aggression but claimed she was not \u201ctrolling\u201d anyone.<\/li>\n<li>According to her, the comment was her way of celebrating and she intended to continue that approach.<\/li>\n<li>She concluded by saying there were no personal attacks, asking for peace and emphasizing that rivalry should be shown without hostility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rain rules out result at Eden Gardens<\/h2>\n<p>The Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders contest was disrupted by weather. Kolkata won the toss and chose to bat first, but the innings suffered early setbacks as Finn Allen and Cameron Green both fell in the second over to Xavier Bartlett\u2019s bowling.<\/p>\n<p>Play was halted after 3.4 overs due to rain. The match was later declared a washout because of a wet outfield, meaning no result was possible and both sides were awarded one point each.<\/p>\n<h2>Table impact and standings<\/h2>\n<p>With the shared point, Punjab Kings moved to the top of the table on five points. Kolkata Knight Riders, meanwhile, opened their account and climbed to eighth place, positioned ahead of Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A
