Punjabi actor-model Samreen Kaur has publicly responded to social media users who accused her of dating Indian cricketer Arshdeep Singh for money and fame. In a direct Instagram Stories post shared on Sunday, November 1, 2026, Samreen stated that she has been earning her own living since she was 17 years old and has travelled to more than 20 countries on her own. Arshdeep Singh, the 27-year-old fast bowler who plays for Punjab Kings in the IPL and for the Indian national team, reposted her message and added his own strong support for her.
The couple confirmed their relationship in July 2026 after months of speculation that began during the IPL 2026 season. Since then, they have faced repeated online criticism, much of it targeting Samreen’s intentions behind the relationship.
What Samreen Kaur Said About the Double Standards
Samreen Kaur used her Instagram Stories to point out what she described as hypocritical behaviour from people on social media. She explained that women are criticised no matter what choice they make about how public or private their relationship is.
“The more I see the world, the more I realise how hypocritical people on social media can be. If you hide your man, you’re apparently not proud of him enough. If you love him loudly, you’re doing it for fame. If you have standards, you’re selfish. And if you genuinely love someone for who they are and how they treat you, apparently you’re going to leave him anyway.”
The statement directly addressed the most common accusation she has faced: that she is with Arshdeep Singh because of his celebrity status and financial success. Samreen made it clear that she finds this line of thinking both unfair and exhausting.
She also expressed frustration with women who join in the criticism of other women. According to Samreen, the constant opinions, assumptions and negative comments have become too much to handle quietly.
“I’m especially tired of seeing women tear other women down. The unnecessary opinions, assumptions, and negativity are exhausting.”
Samreen stated that she and her team would block anyone who continued to bring negativity to her page. She also thanked the people who show genuine support for the couple.
“Me and my team are blocking every person who’s coming here to take out their personal frustrations. My profile isn’t a place to project your hate for life. And to everyone who shows us genuine love, ily guys so much x. I’m happy, I’m in love, and I’m living my life. That’s all that matters. Please let us be.”
Samreen Kaur on Being Financially Independent Since 17
The core of Samreen’s response was a direct rejection of the idea that she needs anyone else’s money to live well. She listed her work history and personal achievements as proof that she has built her own life.
“I’ve been working since I was 17, taking care of myself financially and professionally, travelling to over 20 countries, and building a happy life with or without a relationship. God has blessed me in so many ways to be able to afford my own travel and lifestyle since I was a child and I’m grateful.”
Samreen also spoke about her feelings for Arshdeep in personal terms. She said she feels lucky to have found someone she wishes she had met earlier and described him as someone who completes her.
“And I am incredibly lucky to have found someone I genuinely wish I’d met earlier. Someone who completes me in ways I don’t owe anyone an explanation for. I’ll post about myself, him, and us because that’s my life. If you don’t like seeing it, feel free to leave my page.”
Her statement made clear that she does not believe she owes strangers on the internet any justification for her personal choices.
Arshdeep Singh Backs Samreen Kaur With Strong Message
Arshdeep Singh did not stay silent. He shared Samreen’s Instagram Stories on his own account and wrote a message that praised her strength and asked people to stop interfering in their relationship.
“I’m proud of you baby. You are so strong. To all the people too concerned for what we should and what we shouldn’t do, please take a break. Live and let live. Make this world and internet a better place. Spread love and let love find you. Be warm and kind. It will come back to you in ways you never expected.”
The cricketer also spoke about how he feels about Samreen and the relationship.
“God has been so kind to bless me with someone who is so pure, understanding, and full of love. To love and to be loved is the best feeling a human can experience, and I hope you all get to experience that feeling sooner rather than later. To all our well-wishers, thank you for your kindness and love.”
His response matched the tone of Samreen’s post, focusing on kindness and privacy rather than engaging directly with the accusations.
Why the Couple Faced Trolling During IPL 2026
The trolling directed at Samreen Kaur and Arshdeep Singh did not begin with the November 1 statement. It has been building since their relationship became public knowledge.
Rumours about the two first gained traction during IPL 2026 when a Snapchat image appeared to show Arshdeep holding hands with a woman believed to be Samreen. Fans then compared tattoos, accessories and outfits seen in the image with photos from Samreen’s social media accounts, which fuelled further speculation.
Samreen was spotted at several Punjab Kings matches, including a game against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and later matches in Chandigarh. Her presence at these games, along with paparazzi sightings outside stadiums, added to the public interest. A video of the two walking hand in hand in Dharamshala, the second home venue of Punjab Kings, also went viral during the season.
Arshdeep confirmed the relationship on Sunday, July 26, 2026, by sharing two photos with Samreen on Instagram and writing “My Person” in the caption. The post received more than 2.2 million likes and thousands of comments from fans and fellow cricketers.
Since going public, Samreen has often accompanied Arshdeep on international tours with the Indian cricket team. Her presence at these events has drawn criticism from some fans, who have questioned her motives for being there.
