The ex-opener Virender Sehwag famously remarked to Pakistani cricketing star Shoaib Akhtar, \u201cBaap Baap Hota Hai, Beta Beta Hota Hai,\u201d during one of the games. The line has been frequently used in relation to matchups between India and Pakistan ever since the former cricketer reported this occurrence.<\/p>\n
When the comment was repeated by the anchor on a recent TV News debate, Akhtar didn\u2019t take well to it. When asked about Sehwag\u2019s remarks, the former cricketer became upset. Unexpectedly, Akhtar refuted his claim that he doesn\u2019t recall whether the former India cricketer said as much. Akhtar strongly urged the presenter to uphold the level of respect and discuss the sport of cricket.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst thing,\u00a0agar yeh cheez usne mere muh pe boli hoti toh woh bachta nahi. (If he had said this to my face then he wouldn\u2019t have survived). I don\u2019t know when and where he said this. I had even asked him once in Bangladesh whether he said this or not then he had denied it. Secondly, we should celebrate these occasions and talk about cricket rather than doing these. I respect India a lot, I respect you too and I never say such things which may create differences between the two countries,\u201d Akhtar told the Indian news anchor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
