Pakistani Celebrities React to Pakistan's Crushing Defeat Against India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025
The Pakistan-India cricket rivalry is legendary, an iconic clash that electrifies both nations. It's more than just a game—it's a battle of pride, passion, and history. Whenever these two teams meet, the stakes are higher than ever. This time, the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was extra special as Pakistan was hosting the tournament for the first time in 30 years—a huge milestone, making the match even more important. The clash took place in Dubai, which, although technically neutral ground, still felt like home for Pakistanis. Pakistan's hopes were high, but things didn't go as planned. India won by 6 wickets, chasing down the modest target of 242 in just 42.3 overs. The loss was tough to swallow, especially on "home soil" (Dubai, but we'll take it). Fans flocked to social media to express their frustration, and the match sparked a loud reaction from both fans and celebrities. As expected, some Pakistani celebs had already given up before the match even started, while others clung to hope until the end—only for it to crash halfway through (sound familiar?). Regardless, they stuck with the team. Now, let's take a look at how some of our favorite celebrities reacted to this "memorable" defeat. Zoya Nasir Asking the real questions.

Adnan Siddiqui criticises 'poor VIP experience' during Pak vs NZ CT opener
Listen to article While Pakistan's 60-run loss to New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 opener was a tough blow for fans, the disappointment didn't end there. Many were unhappy with their experience at the National Bank Stadium, and renowned actor Adnan Siddiqui was among those voicing their dissatisfaction. Siddiqui, who attended the match in the VIP enclosure, expressed frustration with the less-than-ideal experience, which left much to be desired. Sharing a video from his vantage point, the actor revealed an obstructed view of the field, with metal beams and railings making it nearly impossible to fully enjoy the match. The actor humorously dubbed it "helmet vision," highlighting the frustrating viewing experience through narrow gaps in the beams. Though Siddiqui refrained from a full-on rant, his visible frustration sparked conversations among fans as many are now hoping that the authorities will address the issue and ensure a better experience for all spectators.
