Ajay Devgn chats with Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi in viral photo, the truth behind it is...

Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn is in the news for his upcoming film Son of Sardar 2, which is set to release in theatres on 1st August 2025. Meanwhile, the actor has suddenly become the target of trolls. One of his photos is going viral on social media, in which he is seen with Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi. People are sharing the picture with the claim that Ajay can do anything for money. Why was Ajay Devgn trolled? It is worth noting that the World Championship of Legends cricket league is currently underway. Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn is the co-owner of this championship. An India-Pakistan match was scheduled to take place on Sunday, July 20, as part of the tournament. However, the match was cancelled due to widespread protests following the Pahalgam terrorist attack. Amidst this, a video and photo of Ajay Devgn went viral on social media, in which he is seen laughing and chatting with Pakistani cricketers. One of the pics showed Ajay with Shahid Afridi. As a result, the actor became a target of criticism from social media users. What is the truth behind this video? Let us tell you that the photos and videos of Ajay Devgn with Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi that are going viral are old. This is after the final of the World Championship of Legends held last year i.e. in 2024. The final match was played between India and Pakistan and India defeated Pakistan. During this, the co-owner of the championship, Ajay Devgn, was present there. At the same time, Ajay met the players of both teams. When will Ajay Devgn's film be released? Let us tell you that the film 'Son of Sardar 2' was earlier scheduled to release on 25 July 2025. But after the tremendous response to Saiyaara, Ajay postponed the release date of his film. Now the film will be released in theaters on 1 August 2025. This is the sequel to Ajay Devgan's 'Son of Sardar' released in the year 2012. Why was India's match with Pakistan cancelled? There has been a lot of anger in India against Pakistan since the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 26th April. In response, India has even banned Pakistani artists from working in the country. Amidst the tense situation, former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi is often seen making anti-India remarks. Given this backdrop, the news of an India-Pakistan match in the World Championship of Legends sparked public outrage. As a result, several Indian players, including Shikhar Dhawan, Harbhajan Singh, and Irfan Pathan, refused to participate in the match, leading to its cancellation.

Not Nitish Reddy! Ravi Shastri Picks 25-Year-Old As India's Next Genuine Allrounder

Last Updated: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri gives his take on who among the current lot has the qualities to become the next genuine allrounder. Washington Sundar has been earmarked by Ravi Shastri as India's next 'genuine" Test allrounder, given his lethal bowling in home conditions and his natural batting talent. The 25-year-old offspinner, who made a remarkable Test debut at the Gabba in 2021, has had limited opportunities in red-ball cricket since then. In 11 Tests, Washington has scored 545 runs and taken 30 wickets. 'I always loved Washington. When I saw him on day one, I said he's the man. And he can be a genuine all-rounder for many, many years for India," Shastri said on The ICC Review. Shastri feels Washington should have played more red-ball matches, especially considering his proven effectiveness on turning tracks at home. 'He again is just 25 years of age. I think he should have played a lot more Test cricket. Can be lethal in India on tracks where the ball is turning, as New Zealand found out when they played against India. He out-bowled some of the senior spinners. He bowled that well and he can bat." Washington was the joint highest wicket-taker in the 2024 home Test series against New Zealand, finishing with 16 wickets in four innings. Shastri, who oversaw Washington's Test debut, also praised his batting abilities, suggesting the Tamil Nadu player could be promoted up the order. 'He's a naturally talented batsman. He's no number 8. He can go at 6 very soon in the batting lineup." In the ongoing England series, Washington has made significant contributions with both bat and ball. At Lord's, his 4/22 in the second innings, including the prized scalps of Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and Jamie Smith, turned the match in India's favour. Shastri added that Washington's technical attributes make him valuable even in overseas conditions. 'And once he gains confidence, I think he'll get better and better because even overseas he's got the drift, he's got the pace, he's got the strength in his fingers and the fitness. You know, do both long spells and do the controlling job when needed." With PTI Inputs view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Celina Jaitly Slams Makers Of Her Film Jawani Diwani: ‘Made It All About Serial Kisser'

Last Updated: Celina Jaitly and Emraan Hashmi starrer Jawani Diwani: A Youthful Joyride was released in 2006. The actress is still angry at the makers for diminishing the female lead's story. Celina Jaitly has called out the makers of her 2006 film 'Jawai Diwani: A Youthful Joyride', co-starring Emraan Hashmi. She said that much like her character Roma Fernandez in the film, she too felt betrayed as an actor. Criticizing the makers, she recalled being promised a stronger character arc, but instead, her role was sidelined and 'pushed aside' as the story focused entirely on Emraan Hashmi's character, the 'serial kisser.' She clarified that her criticism wasn't aimed at her 'amazing' co-star Emraan, but at the makers' mentality, who diluted the woman's voice for commercial convenience. In her recent Instagram post, Celina Jaitly shared a video clip from Jawani Diwani, featuring her and Emraan Hashmi. 'If I had directed this film, I would have told it from the perspective of the heart, from a place of raw, real emotion. I would never have allowed HER : ROMA FERNANDEZ to settle for someone who hurt her, used her, and diminished her worth. I would have honoured her journey, just as I was promised during the director's narration. But just like my character was betrayed in the story, I too was betrayed, as an actor" she wrote. Celina further added, 'What was meant to be her story became all about him, the serial kisser, while the woman who was kissed and believed it was love was pushed aside. This is not against my amazing co-star, this is against the mentality of the makers at the time, who chose spectacle over sincerity, and diluted a woman's voice for commercial convenience." Jawani Diwani, directed by Manish Sharma, starred Emraan Hashmi, Celina Jaitly, Hrishitaa Bhatt, Tiku Talsania and Mahesh Manjrekar. Known for its catchy songs, and cheeky humour, the film tells the tale of an aspiring singer who finds himself torn between love, ambition, and complex relationships. The movie garnered mixed reviews, with specific criticism directed at the development of the female lead's storyline. Best known for her roles in early 2000s hits like Janasheen, No Entry, and Thank You, Celina was last seen in a lead role in the 2011 romantic comedy Thank You. She made a brief special appearance in the 2012 film Will You Marry Me?, and later appeared in the 2020 short film Season's Greetings. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
