Actor Fahad Mustafa took to his Twitter handle to hit back at Danish Kaneria for his defamatory post about veteran cricketer Shahid Afridi. On December 24th, Afridi was named the interim chief selector of the Pakistani cricket team by the newly appointed PCB Chairman, Najam Sethi. His term is set to last until the end of the New Zealand series.
While reacting to the news, Danish posted an unpleasant picture of Afridi and made a jibe at Shahid’s selection. Fahad was quick to respond to his post, by saying that “And clearly he is not a fixer like you.”
A year ago, Fahad hit back at Indian cricket commentator Harsha Bhosle on Twitter after he targeted Waqar Younis for his religious statement.
Harsha tweeted, “For a person of Waqar Younis’ stature to say that watching Rizwan offering namaz in front of Hindus was very special to him, is one of the most disappointing things I have heard. A lot of us try hard to play such things down and talk up the sport and to hear this is terrible.”
However, Mustafa took to Twitter and responded to the commentator, “It’s equally hard to see Muslims being portrayed as terrorists in almost every Bollywood movie for the longest. I can’t imagine how difficult and embarrassing it must be for Muslims in India to watch themselves being ridiculed like that.#stophypocrisy.”
On the work front, the Jawani Phir Nahi Aani star was last seen in Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad opposite Mahira Khan.
