Wasim Akram’s message for trolls is winning the internet
Sultan of Swing Wasim Akram has a fine sense of humour and his latest video addressed to social media trolls is proof of that.
Akram, who has been keeping fans updated with his daily workouts, posted a video in which he is saying: “This is to motivate you. Our goal is to live a healthy life. That’s the idea. I’ll be 55 soon, so why not? Sometimes it’s an effort, but you got to do it.”
“You know, people sometimes abuse you on Facebook and Instagram. For them, I have a message: Batameezi sirf buzdil log kartay hain (only cowards are ill-mannered). This [your words] only shows your background. I feel for your elders.”
He continued: “Some people also criticised me for not wearing a shirt while in the pool because I’m a Muslim.”
“Ghalti hogayi payen, next time three-piece suit. Woh bhi nahi pasand tey ghagra pa lawan ga,” joked the former cricketer.
He concluded by saying: “[You] don’t think before speaking or writing. Classic.”
Social media users couldn’t get enough of Akram’s video and took to Twitter to appreciate it. Check out some of the reactions below:
