"Being living legends I know @sachin_rt and @mangeshkarlata don't even know and care about what's going on!stop spewing hate on their behalf!," Sonam, 30, posted on Twitter.
The "Neerja" star said Tanmay, who is a friend of her, did not make the video to show the legends in a poor light.
"Dear @thetanmay, being your friend I know what you say and do is never to offend, but to make people laugh...," she added.
