As film stars are always surrounded by media and fans regarding their political views, it seems cricket might not fit into that mantra.
With the upcoming Asia Cup campaign in works, India is supposed to face the Pakistan Cricket team on September 14th.
This decision by the BCCI is receiving a lot of hate from the Indian audience, especially after the attacks on Pahalgam conducted by the Pakistani Army.
Many users realized the possibility of the India-Pakistan match being conducted thrice throughout the tournament, given the overall format of the Asia Cup.
While film stars were soft targets and trolled for not even mentioning the Pahalgam attacks, this act by the BCCI has been heavily criticised by the countrymen.
Several memes surfaced around the internet showcasing how the Indian Army sacrificed their lives, but still, the BCCI chose to benefit Pakistan after having the Asia Cup encounter with them.
While the Pakistan Cricket Team will be getting a lot of exposure from this encounter, it further shows how Bollywood and film stars remain easy targets for trolling on such political issues.
