Vindu Dara Singh Slams Pakistan For Fostering Terrorism: ‘Shame On Those People'
Ever since the deadly attack in Pahalgam, India's relations with Pakistan have deteriorated. Amid the ongoing tensions between the two countries, Son of Sardaar 2 actor Vindu Dara Singh spoke strongly against Pakistan's role in fostering terrorism. The 61-year-old actor also weighed in on the ongoing debate following the announcement of the Asia Cup fixture between the two nations.
In the Asia Cup 2025, India is placed in Group A, alongside Pakistan. The two countries will face off against each other on September 14. Singh shared that sports should bring people together. 'We all know whatever has been going on, but sports is a different field," Vindu told ANI.

The actor further urged Pakistan to stop harbouring terrorist groups on their soil as it would ultimately lead to their global isolation. He added, 'Pakistan needs to realise that they are losing out by doing wrong to India… We want peace, but they need to initiate this time. They are the ones who cause the problem. India has never attacked any country first. Shame on those people in Pakistan who support terrorism."
Vindu's comment came just days after the announcement of the Asia Cup 2025 fixture between India and Pakistan. The tournament, organised by the Asian Cricket Council, is scheduled to take place from September 9 to September 25 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Initially, India was supposed to host the tournament. But the recent military tensions between the countries following the deadly attack in Pahalgam has forced the authorities to organise the tournament at a neutral venue, the UAE.
The terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam on April 22 claimed the lives of 26 people. Post the attack, India launched a series of precision strikes under Operation Sindoor in May to destroy terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The two countries were involved in a military conflict before a ceasefire was announced on May 10.
What's Vindu Dara Singh's Next Project?
The actor is set to appear in the comedy film Son of Sardaar 2, starring Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan and Sanjay Mishra. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film is set to be released theatrically on August 1. The movie will also feature Mukul Dev posthumously.

BCCI Likely to Reshuffle Indian Cricket Coaching Staff After England Series
The BCCI is planning big changes in the Indian cricket team after the Test series against England. Head coach Gautam Gambhir is safe for now, but the same cannot be said for the bowling coach Morne Morkel and assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate. The board will review the coaching staff's performance and may take final decisions after the Asia Cup in September. Many fans and experts are unhappy with recent team selections. One example is the dropping of wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, which led to criticism. Some reports say there may be a lack of agreement between the team management and selectors. The decision to play Anshul Kamboj over Kuldeep has especially upset people. The BCCI is also unhappy with the performance of Morne Morkel, who they feel has not helped any fast bowlers grow. They are watching the chief selector Ajit Agarkar and East Zone selector Shiv Sundar Das too. With India's next Test series coming up against the West Indies, some staff changes are expected soon.
