In a playful yet pointed gesture, renowned Pakistani TikToker Hareem Shah took a jab at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi following India’s loss in the ICC World Cup final.
The high-stakes match concluded with Australia emerging victorious, clinching their sixth cricket world championship title after defeating India by 6 wickets at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad.
In response to the defeat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to the social networking platform X (formerly Twitter) to share a message of encouragement for the Indian team. Modi expressed, “You played with great passion throughout the World Cup, the nation is very proud of you, I and the whole of India always stand with you.”
However, Hareem Shah, known for her wit and humor, couldn’t resist adding a touch of satire. In response to Modi’s post, she playfully remarked, “Modi G, itni cheating kr k bhi har gye,” accompanied by a laughing emoji.
