In a bizarre and controversial moment during the IPL 2025 clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), a female fan drew massive attention by holding up a poster threatening to divorce her husband if RCB failed to win the final.
The incident occurred at Lucknow Stadium, where the woman, dressed in a striking red saree, was spotted holding a handwritten sign in Hindi that read:
“RCB agar final nahi jeeti toh mein apne pati ko talaak de dungi” (If RCB doesn’t win the final, I’ll divorce my husband).
With her phone tucked into her saree, she raised the sign for all to see, complete with her Instagram handle prominently displayed. This prompted many to believe it was a publicity stunt aimed at gaining viral fame.
Social Media Erupts
As fans around her began snapping pictures and videos, social media platforms were soon flooded with footage of the dramatic scene. Netizens responded with a mix of humor and concern.
While some users dismissed the act as a joke or a tactic to grab attention, others criticized the trivialization of a serious issue like divorce.

“Pati ki kya galti hai?” (What’s the husband’s fault?), several users asked in the comments, questioning the fairness of involving personal relationships in sports fandom.
Wider Reactions
Despite the viral fame, the act sparked a broader debate about boundaries in public expressions of fandom. Many condemned the post as insensitive, stating that divorce, an emotionally and legally significant issue—should not be used for entertainment or attention.
While her passion for cricket was clear, many felt the message went too far, crossing a line between quirky support and harmful messaging.
