I have never ever seen in any sport a team leaving in the game like nothing happened. So I've never seen that. So good on CAF for making this decision. However, I mean, it took too long. I believe it took too long, but it doesn't matter," she added.
The news comes amid heat faced by Nora Fatehi for her latest song. Her song for the movie KD, named Sarke Chunar, was aggressively slammed on social media for its vulgar lyrics.
The controversy largely centred around the song’s opening verse, which uses a strong double entendre. Though the lyrics initially appear to hint at an intimate act, the later lines clarify that they refer to a drink and a bottle. Despite this contextual shift, many users continued to criticise the wording, saying it was "inappropriate."
