Overview
- Sreesanth, in comments reported Saturday, said Harbhajan earned about Rs 80 lakh to Rs 1 crore from a TV advertisement that riffs on the 2008 slap.
- He said Harbhajan asked him to post the ad on Instagram, and he refused and blocked him.
- Sreesanth called Harbhajan’s recent public remorse an act and said past apologies no longer matter to him.
- Harbhajan has not publicly responded to the new claims, which remain Sreesanth’s allegation without independent confirmation.
- In 2008 Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth after an IPL match and was banned for the season, and HD footage released in 2025 helped revive interest that the new ad has now extended.
