Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn has been slammed online after images of him interacting with former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi went viral amidst the cancellation of an India vs. Pakistan match in a cricket tournament.
The cancellation of the match, and the fact that some Indian players withdrew, fueled criticism of Devgn for appearing friendly with Afridi, who had made controversial statements about the Indian army in the past.
The ironic part is that the images aren’t even recent—they’re taken from a video recorded during the 2024 WCL tournament. But BJP supporters, seemingly blinded by patriotism, quickly turned their outrage toward the Bollywood star.
The funny thing is images are not even recent, they are taken from a video during 2024 WCL tournament but BJP supporters blinded by patriotism swiftly moved their guns toward the Bollywood star.
Some users accused Devgn of insensitivity and questioned his “deshbhakti” (patriotism).
Social media users mocked Ajay Devgn, saying that his smiling picture with a Pakistani cricketer—who has repeatedly made anti-India statements—has raised many questions.
Indian users wrote that actors like Ajay Devgn neither care about the public nor the country, as they are seen smiling and meeting with those who are considered adversaries of India.
Here’s how Indian social media reacted;
