Shahid Afridi

New Delhi: An old video of former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has surfaced on social media where he is confessing about breaking a TV at his home after he saw his daughter trying to imitate an "aarti" scene performed on an Indian daily soap.

In the video, Afridi is asked by his host if he ever broke a TV in his home, to which he replies: "I smashed my TV once, because of my wife. These daily soaps on Star Plus were quite popular then.

"I had asked by wife to watch them alone and not with the kids. I saw one of my kids performing 'aarti' while watching a Star Plus show. I then smashed the TV inside the wall." Watch the full video below.

The video has been making rounds on social media, attracting criticism for many as they believe the former Pakistan all-rounder is making fun of the Hindu custom. This comes at a time when former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar alleged that leg-spinner Danish Kaneria was discriminated within the team during their playing days because of his Hindu faith.
