Stars who shower love on 'Indian cricketers', forget the values of 'Atithi Devo Bhava'

The great battle of the World Cup semi-finals took place in the city of stars, Mumbai. Obviously, the number of stars who have narrated the eyewitness account of Vijayashree is also huge. From Anushka Sharma to Kiara Advani, Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami were showered with air kisses from the spectators sitting at a distance. No one had any idea that our foreign guests, who have come from New Zealand and are playing cricket in India, are also true international players. Winning or losing is a different aspect but it is our culture to greet the guests. Our film stars, who were showering happiness on the Indian cricketers after the victory at the Wankhede ground, had forgotten the culture that the game is in their city and hence they are also the hosts. Seeing the way the film stars were greeting the Indian cricketers, it seemed as if they were paying blind tribute to themselves!

Rajinikanth was also there, Madhuri Dixit was there, Ranbir Kapoor, Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara Advani, John Abraham, Vicky Kaushal, Shahid Kapoor, Mira Kapoor, Saumya Tandon and many other big and small screen stars were enjoying cricket there. Everyone's house was also in Mumbai. Sachin Tendulkar was there, Akash was Mukesh Ambani, and famous cricketer David Beckham, a guest from Manchester, was hugging the Indian players after the game. There is no doubt that Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 centuries (in ODI cricket) was overtaken by Virat Kohli's 50th-century record. For which the Prime Minister has also said "Virat, we are proud of you", in such a situation it would be surprising if Virat Kohli's actress wife Anushka Sharma did not give a flying kiss to her husband in the stadium. But, as the wife of a responsible cricketer and a responsible Bollywood star, did she have any duty towards the guests too?

In a country that believes in 'Atithi Devo Bhava', the relationship between Bollywood and cricket stars is very fascinating. It has been proved many times that cricketers are the favorite of Bollywood stars. When the stars of the field have come to the homes of Bollywood people, how did they forget the formalities of welcome? They should have been welcomed, appreciated, and treated, which was not done. This is where the stars of the film have missed the semi-final victory. The final is to be played between India and Australia on 19th November at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, where many stars are going to arrive. Beyond victory and defeat, I wish they could show that along with cricket, guest cricketers are also revered for us.
