Pakistan defeated England yesterday to move into the Champions’ Trophy finals and it was a moment of extreme excitement for all of us desis.
People, including celebrities, took to Twitter to post about how they felt about this emphatic win. However, things got a little awkward when the renowned Indian actor Rishi Kapoor tweeted about what he had to say about Pakistan’s latest win.
He said, “Congratulations Pakistan! You enter finals? Wow! Good to see you wearing our colour BLUE! Get ready to be BLUED now! We will BLUE you away!” Ouch. That last line didn’t really go down too well with the Pakistani cricket lovers of course.
Congratulations Pakistan! You enter finals? Wow! Good to see you wearing our colour BLUE! Get ready to be BLUED now! We will BLUE you away!

So the tweet is sarcastic and a little below the belt. Obviously, it wasn’t really too well received by Pakistanis all around the world.
Here’s what they had to say about this;
Congratulations Pakistan! You enter finals? Wow! Good to see you wearing our colour BLUE! Get ready to be BLUED now! We will BLUE you away!

Rishi Kapoor did, however, enjoy the whole conversation that went on after this tweet of his, which was evident by his tweets after the storm ‘sort of’ ended.
