Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has publicly supported his partner, Samreen Kaur, after she addressed negative comments about their relationship on social media. Samreen shared a lengthy Instagram message calling out what she described as double standards among social media users. Arshdeep later reposted her statement and urged critics to respect their personal lives.
Samreen Calls Out Social Media Double Standards
Since the couple made their relationship public, they have received both positive reactions and criticism online. Some users have questioned their public displays of affection, while others have made negative assumptions about Samreen’s intentions.
Responding to the comments through her Instagram Story, Samreen highlighted what she sees as contradictory expectations on social media. She pointed out that couples are criticised for keeping relationships private, but are also accused of seeking attention when they openly express their affection.
She also expressed frustration with people making assumptions about the future of a relationship simply because someone chooses to speak openly about their feelings.
Samreen Highlights Her Independence
Samreen also addressed comments questioning her personal and professional independence. She said she had been working since the age of 17 and had managed her own financial and professional responsibilities.
She further stated that she had travelled to more than 20 countries and built a life of her own, with or without a relationship.
According to Samreen, her identity extends beyond her relationship. She does not believe she owes strangers an explanation about her personal choices or lifestyle.
She added that sharing moments from her relationship on social media is her decision. Those who do not wish to see such posts are free to leave her profile. She also warned that people who continue posting abusive or negative comments would be blocked.
Arshdeep Sends a Strong Message to Critics
Arshdeep shared Samreen’s Instagram Story and openly expressed his support. Addressing her, he wrote that he was proud of her and described her as strong.
He then directed a message towards those commenting on the couple’s personal decisions. His response included a simple appeal: people should live their own lives and allow others to do the same.
The India left-arm pacer also encouraged social media users to make the internet a more positive place by spreading kindness and love instead of negativity.
Arshdeep described Samreen as a pure, understanding and loving person. He also thanked everyone who had continued to support them and send them positive messages.
The Couple Made Their Relationship Public in July
Speculation about Arshdeep and Samreen’s relationship had circulated for several months. In July 2026, Arshdeep shared photographs of the two together on Instagram with the caption “My Person”, making their relationship public.
Since then, the couple have received congratulatory messages as well as criticism from some social media users. Their latest statements have brought the issue of online trolling and respect for personal boundaries back into the spotlight.
CricBengal Analysis
Public interest in the personal lives of popular athletes is nothing new. However, following a sportsperson should not mean crossing the line into personal attacks or online harassment.
Arshdeep and Samreen’s response highlights a broader point about social media: people can express their opinions, but personal choices and relationships deserve respect. Their message is straightforward—spread kindness, avoid unnecessary assumptions and allow others the freedom to live their lives.
