POBNEWS24, Dhaka Dec 19, 2022 : France, crushed in the World Cup final, turned around again at the last minute. The atmosphere was breathless throughout, the game was tense. The 90-minute game went into extra time. Last night Messi won the cup after 36 years in history. Shah Rukh called that game the best match of his life.
After watching the game, Shahrukh wrote to his fans on his Facebook status, ‘This is the best World Cup football match I have seen so far. As a child, I used to sit and watch games with my mother. There were small televisions then. Now I watch the play with the children—that same exuberance, excitement works. Finally, thanks to Messi for this surprise. We all believed that this (Messi) talented, hardworking, dreamy player will win the World Cup.
Currently, Shahrukh is busy with the promotion of his movie ‘Pathan’. He appeared as a guest of Sports 18 last Sunday evening to promote that movie. There, the football game came back to Shahrukh’s face. Shah Rukh chatted with host and former England footballer Wayne Rooney about World Cup football. During this discussion, he also raised questions about Messi’s departure. Shahrukh said, ‘I don’t think it’s time for Messi to leave. He is only 35 years old. Ronaldo also played at this age.’
After the release of the first song of the film ‘Pathan’ last Monday, there were accusations of obscenity against the film. In Madhya Pradesh there was a protest over the picture. Effigies of Shahrukh-Deepika are burnt. Then calls were made to boycott the photo on social media. But Shahrukh did not give up. He continues to promote his film. The king of Bollywood is returning to the screen on January 25 after 4 years with the film ‘Pathan’.
