Akshay Kumar Faces Backlash After India's Defeat at Lord's Test Match

Akshay Kumar's Recent Appearance at Lord's

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is frequently in the spotlight for his film projects. However, this year has not seen him achieve significant milestones. Recently, he was spotted at Lord's, attending the third Test match between India and England alongside his wife, Twinkle Khanna.

On the fifth day of the match, former cricketer Ravi Shastri was also seen sitting with them. Kumar, who was in the VIP box, is now facing considerable trolling on social media, primarily due to India's loss.

Social Media Reactions to India's Loss

Images of Akshay Kumar watching the match have gone viral, with many users blaming him for India's defeat. In the Lord's Test, India lost to England, chasing a target of 193 runs. Ravindra Jadeja fought valiantly, but India fell short by 22 runs.

Why is Akshay Kumar Being Trolled?

India's loss by 22 runs has led some cricket fans to label Akshay Kumar as a jinx. However, there are also supporters praising his appearance, particularly his salt-and-pepper look. One user commented, 'India tends to lose whenever Akshay Kumar supports them,' while another noted, 'India has not won a match whenever Akshay Kumar has been in the stadium.'

While these claims circulate on social media, their validity remains uncertain. Some users humorously suggested that Kumar was observing Jadeja for a potential biopic, while others commended his fitness, stating that he looks 40 at the age of 57.

Akshay Kumar's Recent Film Releases

This year, Akshay Kumar has released several films, starting with 'Skyforce.' He also attempted to entertain audiences with 'Kesari Chapter 2' and 'Housefull 5.' However, apart from 'Kesari 2,' none of the films made a significant impact. Additionally, he made a cameo in the South film 'Kanappa,' which unfortunately did not perform well at the box office.
