Rohit Shetty praises Hardik Pandya’s comeback

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

Hardik faced trolls on the field and on social media earlier this year for his under-performance on the field. However, he made a roaring comeback and won the World Cup for India. Shortly afterwards, he announced his divorce from his wife Natasa Stankovic.

While commenting on the Instagram clip, Hardik responded with a kiss and heart emoji. Fans also agreed with Rohit. One user commented, “The moment he walked out of the airport with the trophy in his hand in front of the Mumbai crowd was not 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 a lot of ups and downs and he’s turned haters into fans every time!! (fire, crown and goat emojis).”
