Top athletes from various nations across the world are competing at the Rio Olympics, the world's most extravagant sports festival bringing out the best to win the appreciation and hearts of all. India too for the first time sent for the first time record number of athletes who are working hard to bring laurels for the country. 


Everyone knows that participation is more important than winning and despite many deficiencies and loopholes in the system and troubling circumstances,athletes try to bring their best forgetting all difficulties to entertain sports lovers. Till now the results are not that encouraging for the Indians as they experienced many narrow misses and some off the mark performances. 


People cannot forget the dismal losses in Tennis, Table Tennis, Archery,Shooting etc where expectations are not met. The silver lining is Dipa Karmakar enacting deadly life threatening Podunova vault to enter Gymnastics finals and Hockey team registering two wins and is eyeing quarter final spot. Archer Atanu Das too did India proud by reaching the quarters. However a day earlier India suffered tragic loss when Germany scored in the final three seconds in Hockey and Abhinav Bhindra, missed out bronze in a shoot out in shooting. 


Under these circumstances controversial author Shobha De came with the insulting tweets on athletes. She tweeted "Goal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao (Go to Rio). Selfies lo (Take selfies). Khaali haat wapas aao (Return empty-handed). What a waste of money and opportunity," 


This attracted angry reactions not only from sports persons but also from people across the country. Bindra, India's sole individual gold medalist at the Olympics said "Shobhaa De, that's a tad unfair. You should be proud of your athletes pursuing human excellence against the whole world."


Jwala Gutta, Badminton player known for her ferocious attitude responded "maybe things will change when the attitude of people like urself change!!!!???? #Proudindian #proudsportsperson," Tennis player Somdev Verman said "a little harsh to belittle the hard work put in by our athletes ...don't you think ?."


Former Indian hockey player Viren Rasqinah who is the CEO of Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ) — a foundation looking to help India win Olympic Gold medals said "Ms. De, kindly run on the hockey pitch for 60 mins & hold a rifle like Abhinav and Gagan. Bit tougher than u think,"


Some even asked her to learn from Big B Amitabh Bachchan who had words of encouragement for the athletes. He came with the following tweets. 


 Never mind Bindra/Hockey Men's team .. you played well .. we will win soon .. proud of Indian Team at Rio .
 Bindra at the shooting .. just shere bad luck .. close competition .. we are with you, irrespective .. Proud of Indian team at Rio.
Netizens blasted Shobha De with the following tweets. 
Porn books likho. Twitter pe bakwas pelo. Faltu oxygen ko carbondioxide main badlo. Wht a waste of space and human life
shameful tweet and considering how some like u prefer to be armchair gyaanis.


still better than pretending to clean an already clean road. The tweet featured a picture of the columnist endorsing Swacch Bharat Abhiyan
Olympians train hard and learnt things hard way...never mind these shobhaa de s will not know or understand that...
@DeShobhaa very bad of you maam. The games are still on for god sake. How are u encouraging the Indian team in anyways? What selfies? Babu?
@DeShobhaa utterly disgusting. Wish you had been born to one of these families whose wards have struggled to represent India for selfies
Goal of Shobhaa De: Online aao. Tweet something senseless. Gaali khao, wapas jao.
What a waste of oxygen and space.
Goal of a page 3 intellectual. Party karo. Photo khichwao. Khaali bakwaas karo. What a waste of paper.
@DeShobhaa Goal of Shobha de on twitter : Online aao. Bina matlab ki baat karo. Gaali khao. Wapas ajao.

Disheartening to hear an educated woman making bullshit comments about our athletes! Grow up @DeShobhaa #shame

.@DeShobhaa Ma'am, with undue respect, I feel u could've got us a gold medal, but sadly uttering bullshit all day isn't an Olympic sport yet
Goal of Shobha De on Twitter. Be stupid. Upload selfies where her mediocrity is celebrated. Khaali bakwaas type. What a waste of genes.
