Pak Cricketer Abdul Razzaq Apologises For His "Aishwarya Rai Ke Saath Shaadi and Bachcha" Comment

Abdul Razzaq x Aishwarya Rai Controversy:Former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq had a terrible slip of the tongue recently. While expressing his views on the Pakistan team's debacle in the 2023 World Cup, he referred to it as marrying and having a child with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.Razzaq stated, "Here, I am referring to their (PCB’s) intention. While I was playing, I was aware of my captain, Younis Khan's, good intentions. That gave me strength and confidence, and with Allah’s help, I was able to perform well for Pakistani cricket. We don’t really intend to improve and enhance the players, in my opinion. That will never happen if you believe that I will marry Aishwarya (Rai) to have a good-natured and moral child. Therefore, you must first amend your intentions."

Soon after the video and comment went viral, Abdul Razzaq realised his mistake. Netizens and even senior Pakistani cricketers slammed and bashed him brutally. He then apologised, saying, "I'm Abdul Razaaq. Yesterday, during the press conference, we were discussing cricket coaching and intentions. I had a slip of the tongue and mistakenly took Aishwarya Rai’s name. I apologise to her personally. I did not intend to hurt anyone. I had to give some other example, but mistakenly used her name."
