Here’s what the celebrities present at the event had to say:
Sidharth Malhotra
“We’re going to practise much more but the boys played really well. On the funnier side, I think the Indian cricket team also got really lucky, since there was a lot of deflections and a lot of mistakes on our part. I’m absolutely going to come back next year. This was my first time and I need to spend more time playing the sport. I’m looking forward to practising much more and playing another match next year!”
Shabbir Ahluwulia
“I really love football. We were all here for a cause and it was a great match”.
Kartik Aaryan
“I loved playing the game and we thoroughly enjoyed the match. I think we put up a good fight but we were unlucky with some goals. The other team got two penalties and I think it was hard luck for us, they played really well. We were expecting a good game from the guys, they are really talented. Virat played really well, Dhoni too played really well, it was a tough fight for all of us. I’m happy to be a part of the team and the event as it was for a good cause.”
