"Only For Soldiers To Die?" Army Veteran Slams Ajay Devgn's Pic With Afridi
Fans have mercilessly trolled Ajay Devgn over his viral picture with Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi. The match between India and Pakistan in the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL) edition in Birmingham was cancelled recently. But fans reacted to Ajay Devgn chatting with Shahid Afridi who had mocked the Indian Army during the horrific Pahalgam attack on April 22, 2025.
Fans flooded X by re-sharing the pictures and captioning it, "This man's career should be burnt to ashes today" and "You can't trust any Bollywood celebrities".
An Army veteran also questioned, "Is it only for the soldiers to die for India? Jai Hind."
Ajay Devgn is also the co-owner of the second edition of WCL.

How Fans Reacted
Fans were disappointed after the pictures of Indian superstar Ajay Devgn chatting with Pakistani cricket icon Shahid Afridi started doing rounds on social media. A section of social media users also did not hold back in expressing their anger.
One Internet user wrote, "Ajay Devgan meets Shahid Afridi happily. For these celebs desh bhakti will remain for PR only, rest they will do anything for money and don't care about the people of the country."
