Abdul Razzaq says he 'mistakenly' used Aishwarya Rai’s name after outrage over derogatory remarks
LAHORE – Pakistan’s former cricketer Abdul Razzaq remained in news after he used insulting remarks against Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai Bachan.
The 43-year-old was part of a panel at World Cup 2023 promotion event when he said ‘if you think you will marry Aishwarya Rai and have a moral child, saying it will never happen’.

کی کپتانی کو مخاطب کرتے ہوئے چیمپیئن آل راؤنڈر عبدالرزاق نے کہا کہ جب نیتیں ہی صاف نہیں تو نتیجہ کیسے اچھا آسکتا ہے۔۔عبدالرزاق نے بڑی مثال بھی دی ۔@TheRealPCBMedia pic.twitter.com/YoSx44DQjv
The clip triggered criticism as it showed Shahid Afridi and Gul sharing laugh at Razzaq's below-the-belt joke.
Amid the ire, Razzaq issued an apology to Bollywood actress. The cricketer-turned-analyst claimed it was not his intent to make the analogy he made regarding her while discussing Pakistan cricket.

Razzaq’s video was widely shared online and was covered by India media and people from all walks of life lamented him for his choice of words at a public event.
Pakistani cricketers including Shaoib Akhtar condemned Razzaq's vile comments.
I highly condemn the inappropriate joke/comparison made by Razzaq.
— Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) November 14, 2023
No woman should be disrespected like this.
People seated beside him should have raised their voice right away rather than laughing & clapping.
As a cricketer I feel sorry that Abdul Razzaq made comments about Indian actress in a media talk. I hope he will be ashamed of what he said and apologize.
