But media reports reveal that Shahid Afridi's participation in the tournament broke the camel's back. read more Shahid Afridi's participation in the India vs Pakistan match at WCL 2025 became a big issue as Indian players pulled out.

The WCL, in its official statement, said that they only wanted to 'create some happy memories for people' with the upcoming match and felt it was the right decision as the two countries had already resumed sporting ties through other events. They admitted 'unintentionally' causing 'discomfort to our Indian Cricket Legends' and 'affecting the brands who supported' them. India and Pakistan teams have already competed against each other in tennis and volleyball matches internationally since the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. Afridi's participation forces WLC to cancel IND vs PAK match However, it's important to note that the organisers had no wish to cancel the match until Indian players went against the idea. Dhawan was the most vocal as he took to social media to express his disapproval. 'Jo kadam 11 May ko liya, uspe aaj bhi waise hi khada hoon. Mera desh mere liye sab kuch hai, aur desh se badhkar kuch nahi hota (I still stand by the step I took on 11 May.

This actor appeared in shorts and slippers for his audition, was questioned for unprofessionalism, but director liked his look, became a superstar, he is... In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it's usually the dazzling lives of celebrities that come to the forefront. However, what happens behind the scenes when the curtain falls is a lot more than what meets the eye. Behind the sparkling appearance of a celebrity, there is a lot of primping and grooming that takes place. Actors usually go through rigorous grooming and preparation before their big break. From Alia Bhatt, Arjun Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor to Sara Ali Khan, we all have seen these celebrities going through a dramatic transformation right before their launch, but in a world where people are supposed to be prim and proper at all times, there was one such celebrity who defied all such norms. And it was his nonchalant approach that made him a star. The person that we are talking about is none other than Aditya Roy Kapur. Recently, Mohit Suri, who is currently basking in the success of his blockbuster film Saiyaara, opened up about the unforgettable moment when Aditya showed up for the audition of Aashiqui 2 in nothing but casual shorts and slippers. Aditya Kapur Didn't Know Mohit Suri Suri recalled that while they were searching for new faces for Aashiqui 2, they launched a talent hunt but couldn't get a promising result. Then one day, an AD called Aditya Roy Kapoor, who was completely unaware about the project or even who Mohit Suri was, however, it was Ranbir Kapoor who encouraged Aditya to meet Suri, calling him a 'good director.' Aditya Roy Kapur's Nonchalant Behaviour What was surprising was that, in an audition, where most budding actors put their best foot forward, Aditya Roy Kapoor appeared in a laid-back look, donning beach shorts, an old T-shirt, and slippers. This nonchalant behaviour of Aditya Roy Kapur really disappointed Suri's team; they questioned his unprofessional attitude. However, Mohit was of a different belief. Instead of thinking that Aditya was casual in his approach, he saw something raw, something real in Aditya's vibe that matched the soul of his character, Rahul Jaykar Suri said ', 'All my assistants were very annoyed and were wondering what kind of behaviour is this. But this thought came to my mind – this guy has come here on a bike. If this guy had come in a Range Rover, he would have been my character, Rahul Jaykar. So I believe the best casting happens when the camera is not rolling'. Later, Aashiqui 2 starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor turned out to be a major box office hit. The film was made under the big banner production of Vishesh Films and T-Series. The plot of the film revolved around a fading singer and a rising starlet, which struck an emotional chord with everyone and resonates with the audience even today.
