Saif Ali Khan hurled with repeated abuses by a Pakistani fan after India vs Pakistan at Manchester; ignores him with grace

The India vs Pakistan 2019 World Cup match was unfortunately dominated and marred by unnecessary controversies, especially by the hurt Pakistani fans. The fans simply failed to gulp down their team’s 89-run loss (DLS Method) vs India as they indulged in destructive criticisms, and even personal attacks on their families which inarguably have no place in sports.

But, a fan even made sure that he targeted anybody and everybody who came his way, thereby not only bringing a bad name to himself, but also to the entire nation at large.

The high-octane clash was witnessed by many Indian celebrities and stars, one of whom was the popular Bollywood actor- Saif Ali Khan. Saif, unfortunately received the unnecessary verbal abuse and slander by one of the Pakistani fan as he was leaving The Old Trafford Stadium post the end of the match.

Pakistani fan abuses Saif repeatedly

Saif Ali Khan, had arrived at the match venue donning the Indian jersey, along with the debutant actress in his next movie, Alaia Furniturewalla.

Post the Indian victory, the duo had to face a shameful and embarrassing experience when a Pakistani fan repeatedly hurled abuses and verbal insults.

The video which is going viral on various social media platforms, the person is heard mocking Saif and Alaia till the time they exit the area. The person was heard calling the 48-year old actor as ‘Indian cricket team’s 11th water boy’. He didn’t stop here as he further mentioned him as ‘an actor who always kills Pakistanis in his movies’.

Targeting Alaia next, he made fun of her calling her Saif’s ‘bitiya rani’.

Saif ignores the individual

Amidst all the nonsense, the actor rightly shrugged-off the individual hurling abuses and insults, paying no heed whatsoever to what he had to say.

He rather, along with Alaia chose to walk off in a graceful and dignified manner, just how a sensible, sane person would do.

Alaia Furniturewalla is the daughter, of popular actress Pooja Bedi, and is all set to make her debut alongside Saif in their next movie- Jawaani Jaaneman.
