Pakistan’s former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar condemned another cricketer’s comments on Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai.
Earlier, cricketer Abdul Razzaq made a sexist joke involving Aishwarya Rai. Razzaq joked that marrying Aishwarya Rai would not guarantee the birth of a well-mannered child. “If you think that I will get married to Aishwarya to have a well-mannered and virtuous child, then that can never happen. So you have to correct your intentions first’, said Razzaq in Urdu.
Razzaq has been facing a backlash for disrespecting Aishwarya Rai while taking a jibe at the PCB and team management. Shoaib Akhtar condemned Razzaq’s comments and also said the cricket stars sitting and clapping next to him should have raised their voice right away.
Akhtar wrote in his tweet,’ I highly condemn the inappropriate joke/comparison made by Razzaq. No woman should be disrespected like this. People seated beside him should have raised their voices right away rather than laughing & clapping.’
Shahid Afridi and ex-pacer Umar Gul were also present on stage with Razzaq and seen laughing at his supposed joke. Afridi later clarified that he did not clearly hear what Razzaq said and vowed to make him apologize for the comment. ‘We were sitting on stage during the program when Razzaq said something. I started laughing just like that, I couldn’t hear or understand what exactly he said, he said.
Dear brother, @SAfridiOfficial bhai and I did not clap in the clip to endorse what Abdul Razzaq said but it was in sarcasm. No1 there appreciated or endorsed what was said by him. It was ethically n morally wrong. Everyone has a different perspective and it’s always wrong to name…
