Recently, Farhan Akhtar posted a message of support for Cristiano Ronaldo, a football player.
Football player Cristiano Ronaldo has gained the support of Farhan Akhtar. The Bollywood star criticised Ronaldo’s detractors for their comments about his performance at the FIFA World Cup. Farhan said in a post expressing his admiration for the player that it irks him “to see commentators disparage him (Ronaldo) and speak of him as a has-been.” Following Akhtar’s sharing of the article, internet users mocked the actor for defending Ronaldo, who is charged with rape. Farhan was criticised by some online users for supporting Ronaldo despite starting the MARD movement (Men Against Rape And Discrimination).
On Instagram, Farhan Akhtar posted a thank-you message for Cristiano Ronaldo. In his note, it said, “This is a post to thank Cristiano Ronaldo. This person has dedicated his entire life to the sport and has achieved levels of talent, athleticism, and conditioning that other athletes can only dream of. When someone stops acting like a robot and exhibits genuine emotion, it’s so simple to undermine them in a matter of seconds.”
In response to his article, one person said in the comments section, “You must be aware that Cristiano Ronaldo has been credibly accused of rape and violating a woman’s consent as the founder of the Men Against Rape and Discrimination project and a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. It’s upsetting to hear this from you (sic).”
