#viralvideo An unidentified man, whose video of fat-shaming Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed went viral on social media, has issued an apology to the 32-year-old. In the video, it looked like the man was trying to take a picture. However, as soon as the captain obliged, it was revealed that the “fan” was actually trying to make a nasty video insulting Ahmed, who was present at the mall in UK with his family.
The unruly man went as far as hurling abuses at Ahmed in the presence of his son and called him a “fat pig”.
Instead of responding to the disgusting attack by lashing out, the Pakistan captain maintained his composure and left without retaliating even as the man kept shouting insults behind his back.
Fans have come out in support of Sarfaraz, praising him for staying cool in the face of abuse and said his mother's teachings reflected in how he reacted. Others termed the behaviour of the man in the video as "shameful" and "completely unacceptable".
In face of this stiff criticism from around the world, the man has now apologised in a video message.
Fan Who Harassed Sarfaraz Ahmed in Front of His Son Apologises After Backlash
An unidentified man, whose video of fat-shaming Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed went viral on social media, has issued an apology to the 32-year-old. In the video, it looked like the man was trying to take a picture. However, as soon as the captain obliged, it was revealed that the “fan” was actually trying to make a nasty video insulting Ahmed, who was present at the mall in UK with his family.

Instead of responding to the disgusting attack by lashing out, the Pakistan captain maintained his composure and left without retaliating even as the man kept shouting insults behind his back.
Fans have come out in support of Sarfaraz, praising him for staying cool in the face of abuse and said his mother's teachings reflected in how he reacted. Others termed the behaviour of the man in the video as "shameful" and "completely unacceptable".
In face of this stiff criticism from around the world, the man has now apologised in a video message.
"I was telling something to the Pakistani captain, which is not correct. I apologise to everyone, who was offended with the incident, I had never uploaded that video," he said.
In a flashing, distasteful continuation of his pettiness, the man added that he was “unaware” that the little boy accompanying the Pakistan skipper was his son and nor did he know that he was a ‘Hafiz-e-Quran’, a person who has memorized the Quran and with that attained an elevated status of piety.
Not just this, but in the course of his message, he also accuses Sarfaraz Ahmed of walking up to him angrily after the video was shot and prompting him to delete it. We don’t see what’s wrong in that even if he did, you know.
The man concluded the video by saying even he is a Pakistani and didn't realise the outcome of his actions would be so severe.
Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed’s morale is high despite a crushing loss to arch-rivals India in their last World Cup clash.
Addressing a press conference, Ahmed remained upbeat on the eve of their match with South Africa at Lord’s on Sunday.
Yawning is a normal thing to do, I didn’t commit a sin. If people made money out of me yawning, that’s a good thing,” he cleverly replied.
