Shoaib Akhtar for hating ‘Mera Groove’ facing Twitteraties bash
Shoiab Akhtar for his insensitive remarks about the artists’ struggle facing Pakistani Twitterati quick and mix response.
“Really disappointed in u. The song is not bad at all. Just cuz u didn’t like it, doesn’t mean u have the right to put the efforts of singers n producers in the trash,” one user said.
On the other hand, Singer and actor Haroon Shahid also reminded Akhtar about his association with Shahrukh Khan-owned Kolkata Knight Riders.
“So when Shoaib Akhtar was being paid millions by Kolkata Knight Riders and this song came up I bet he would have danced on this track at the Eden Gardens just to impress Shahrukh jee!”
Moreover, actress Anoushey Ashraf and singer Farhan Saeed also bashed Shoaib Akhtar over bashing the PSL song.
“Oh dear, this is in bad taste. One thing to not like a song, another thing to run down artists, musicians this way,” she commented on Akhtar’s video. I “Big fan of Shoaib Akhtar but not the way he’s bashing the new anthem. Some people, including many of your friends, fans, and family, like the track.” Anoushy tweeted.
“Difference of opinion is welcome, degrading someone’s work isn’t,” she pointed out. “Don’t like the track, cool. Hating on it this way? Not cool.”
Whereas, Farhan Saeed wrote, “It’s his opinion, that’s okay! He has the right, but that’s a stupid opinion is what is my opinion,” commented singer and actor Farhan Saeed on the same post. “This song will be a winner in the stadiums, mark it! Well done Zulfiqar J Khan, Aima Baig, and of course Naseebo Lal. Great effort!”
The comments on Akhtar’s YouTube and Instagram posts were mixed. Some people defended his right to his opinion while others said he had hit below the belt with his “review”
