Farhan Akhtar hails Cristiano Ronaldo with a social media post; calls out the commentators who dissed him

Farhan Akhtar hailed Cristiano Ronaldo in a social media post and chastised people who had criticised the football star. On Wednesday, Farhan lamented on Twitter that it annoys him "to see commentators disparage him and speak of him as a has-been. Additionally, Farhan uploaded a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo dressed in a suit today on his Instagram handle. Sharing the picture, he penned a long note that read, "This is a @cristiano Ronaldo appreciation post. This guy has given his life to the game, and set standards of skill, athleticism, and fitness that most sportspeople can only fantasize about. It’s so easy to tear someone down in a moment when they stop behaving like robots and display human emotion."

He added, "It’s so easy to forget how fortunate we’ve been to witness him take the beautiful game to a whole other level through sheer commitment, sacrifices, hard work, and constant improvement through self-analysis. It annoys the hell out of me to see commentators diss him and speak of him as a has-been. Not one of them could last a day in his shoes. I don’t know the guy but I know that watching him play made me happy. Even when he played against teams I supported. I hope he knows what he means to the millions of people who feel the same way I do. ♥️♥️".

As he dropped this post, Abhishek Bachchan also took to the comments section and wrote, "Truth".

Farhan last appeared with Mrunal Thakur and Paresh Rawal in the Prime Video-streamed sports drama Toofan. His upcoming project is the road trip movie Jee Le Zara, wherein he will wear the director's hat. Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif play the leading ladies in the movie.
