Here's what everyone should learn from Virat-Anushka's relationship

When you are in a relationship, you are ready to pick up fights with anyone, who dares to badmouth your partner. But, once it's over, you reduce the person you were once in love with to a string of obscenities.  You don't give a flying fuck as to what others have to say about your ex.

Well, maybe you should take a lesson or two from Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli.

If rumour mills are to be believed, the two were on a break, when trollers attacked Anushka for Virat's poor performance in the ICC World T20. The cricketer, however, was quick to come out in defense of Anushka, slamming haters for trolling her. The man went on to tweet this: Shame on people for trolling @AnushkaSharma non-stop. Have some compassion. She has always only given me positivity.

Apparently, this tweet re-ignited things for the couple and they got back together, stronger than ever. In fact, this tweet has been declared the 'Golden Tweet of 2016' by Twitter.

What's interesting here is that the cricketer shielded his ex-girlfriend from the volley of online abuse, not giving importance to the fact that they were no longer seeing each other. And that's how it should be. Why do we shred our ex of all the respect, once we part ways? It's not a rare occurrence when you come across reports of a jilted lover brutally murdering his ex-girlfriend or a man leaking private pictures of a girl he once adored.

What did Anushka Sharma tell Virat Kohli before he went out to bat today? "Virat, I want you here in 5 minutes." :D #CWC15 #AUSvsIND

In times such as these, Virat's gesture does speak volumes and should inspire those who plan on taking revenge from their partners after getting heartbroken. Yes, it's unfortunate that things did not work out; however, it should definitely not let you turn into a monster, hell-bent on ruining someone's life or reputation.
