Take a deep breath, and reveal the name: Virender Sehwag To Wriddhiman Saha on Journalist row

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has advised Wriddhiman Saha to disclose the name of the journalist who threatened him for not giving an interview.

In a tweet, Sehwag asked Saha to take a deep breath and tell the name of the journalist as he said, “Dear Wriddhi, it's not your nature to harm others and you are a wonderful guy. But to prevent such harm from happening to anyone else in the future , it's important for you to name him. Gehri saans le, aur naam bol daal(take a deep breath, and reveal the name)."

Earlier, Saha in a series of tweets wrote that he was hurt and offended in the manner a journalist threatened him for not giving an interview.

Saha wrote, “I was hurt and offended. I thought not to tolerate such kind of behaviour and didn’t want anyone to go through these kind of bullying. I decided I will go out and expose the chat in public eye, but not his/her name.”

Explaining why he doesn’t want to reveal the name of the journalist he wrote, “My nature isnt such that I will harm anyone to the extent of ending someone’s career. So on grounds of humanity looking at his/her family, I am not exposing the name for the time being. But if any such repetition happens, I will not hold back.”

Saha thanked and expressed gratitude to those who have shown support and extended their willingness to help.
