Bollywood actor/comedian Kapil Sharma extended his support for Peshawar Zalmi in the third season of Pakistan Superior League, irking Indians who quickly started pouring in hatred against the star for cheering for their rival country.
On Wednesday, the owner of the defending champion’s team Javed Afridi arranged a gala night just before the PSL inauguration ceremony for his team and some children from Shaukat Khanam Memorial Cancer Hospital. Zalmis invited the laughter box Kapil for bringing in the chuckles and the giggles but this didn’t go so well with the Indians.
Never a dull moment when @KapilSharmaK9's around. Very witty and knows exactly how to bring a smile on people's faces. Had a great time having him over with us tonight. #ZalmiNightWithKapil pic.twitter.com/gqYr37ONIz

The controversial TV host was criticized for performing for Pakistan and was called ‘desperate’ as well as accused of selling himself to the arch enemy of their nation.
A desperate Kapil Sharma whose arrogance and bad behaviour with colleagues in drunken state have royally screwed his career in India, promotes Pakistan Super League’s Peshawar Zalmi team for quick bucks.
This is horrible at a time when Pakistani terrorism is at its peak. pic.twitter.com/70geZwxZnF

Kapil Sharma is either financially broke or mentally ill. I don’t see any reason why he would promote a Pakistani shitshow at a point when continuous ceasefire violations are being done.#BanPakArtists #KapilSharmaPakJa

Kapil Sharma lost his mind when he could not control his success and put an absurd tweet in the wee hrs of the night. Now just to grab some attention he is promoting Pakistan league. Shameless. @SuPriyoBabul @KapilSharmaK9
