Rohit Shetty welcomes Hardik Pandya’s return

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

Hardik faced trolls on the field and on social media earlier this year due to his underperformance on the field. However, he made a strong comeback by winning the World Cup for India. Shortly after, he announced his separation from his wife Natasa Stankovic.

Reacting to the Instagram clip, Hardik commented with a kiss and a heart emoji. Fans also agreed with Rohit. One user commented: “The moment he walked out of the airport holding 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 one time, his life has had many ups and downs and he has turned haters into fans every time!! (fire, crown and goat emojis).
