Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan took to social media to celebrate India's thrilling victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup final. But what caught everyone's attention was his witty remark about former Pakistani pacer Shoaib Akhtar's gaffe.
During a pre-match show called "Game On Hai," Shoaib Akhtar mistakenly referred to Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma as "Abhishek Bachchan," sparking widespread laughter and memes. Abhishek Bachchan himself responded with humour, tweeting, "Sir, with all due respect... don't think they'll even manage that! And I'm not even good at playing cricket."
