FIFA 2022 wrapped up on Sunday late night as Lionel Messi’s Argentina took the trophy home defeating the defending champions, France. Indian celebs were very much part of the FIFA fanfare from the beginning till the end, as Deepika Padukone unveiled the FIFA trophy during the finals. Here are Bollywood celebs who were seen during the final game.

In a plastic bag!

Being the first Indian brand ambassador of the French luxury brand Louis Vuitton, Deepika Padukone chose to wear LV for the prestigious event. She was dressed in white blouse with sleeveless tan-hues parka, a black pleated midi-skirt paired with black belt and boots. After unveiling of the trophy, many called Deepika’s outfit choice a fashion failure. All of those who were unimpressed although commended how Deepika carried herself, but trolled her stylist brutally for making her dress up in a plastic bag!

In the final moments

Humble presence

When journalist Martin Brundle ‘momentarily’ admitted that he had forgotten who Ranveer Singh was, the latter introduced himself as, “I’m a Bollywood actor, sir. I hail from Mumbai, India. I am an entertainer.”

Like a dream

Nora Fatehi performance at the Fan Fest was conceptualised, designed and implemented by ace choreographer Rajit Dev. He shares, “It was all like a dream, I love playing football and am a big fan FIFA even on Play Station. I got to meet the FIFA president and legendary players like Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Drogba and John Terry.”

Drake loses $1 million

Rapper Drake lost a whopping $1 million after betting on the FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and France. The Canadian superstar lost the massive amount despite picking Argentina to win over France in the Sunday match.

As posted on Drake’s Instagram Story, he made the bet on Stakes and would’ve earned $2.75 million if he had won. Footage of the OVO Sound co-founder supporting the Latin American country also surfaced on the Internet. In the clip, he was featured with a friend as saying, “I’ll take Argentina, he’ll take France.”

Casino streamer Roshtein aka Ishmale Schwartz matched Drake’s bet for France. “@roshtein my bet is in for tmrw @stake,” the ‘In My Feelings’ hit-maker posted on his Instagram Story. When Roshtein posted his bet, he wrote, “Oui monsieur @champagnepapi vive la France @stake”, revealing that he would’ve earned $100,000 more if he had won.

While Lionel Messi eventually led Argentina to win the final match against France, their victory was only sealed after a 4-2 penalty shootout. Unfortunately for Drake, he placed his bet in the 1×2 market that doesn’t account for extra time! —IANS
