Rohit Shetty lauds Hardik Pandya’s comeback

The Singham Again director, while speaking about the ups and downs in Hardik’s career said, “Hardik’s last year was nothing short of cinematic. It’s like watching a movie—where the hero falls, even as 10,000-20,000 people are jeering. And then, when he comes back to the same stadium, they cheer, and he’s crying. That’s real cinema.”

Hardik faced trolling on the pitch and on social media earlier this year due to his underperformance on the field. However, he made a roaring comeback, winning the World Cup for India. Shortly after, he announced his split from wifa Natasa Stankovic.

While reacting to the Instagram clip, Hardik commented with a kiss and heart emoji. Fans also agreed with Rohit. A user commented, “The moment he came out of the airport holding the trophy in his hand in front of Mumbai crowd wasn’t cool it was COLD.” A fan wrote, “The Man Who Turned Haters into Fans = Hardik Pandya (heart emoji).” Another fan commented, “It’s not just this time, his life has had many ups and downs and he has turned haters into fans every time!! (fire, crown and goat emojis).”
