World cup 2019 has started recently and it is going on in full fledge. The captain of the teams were invited by the Queen in London recently. Photos of the meetings went viral and it gave birth to a lot of memes. All the captains were well dressed, but people were surprised to see Sarfaraz Ahmed in his traditional clothing Salwar Kameez. The Pakistani Captian got trolled on Twitter for this.
Gauhar Khan soon came to his rescue and others too reached out. She said, “He is representing his culture, n looking v handsome in that! Every human being has the right to wear what he does, with dignity n pride! But I guess u wouldn’t know anything about belonging or representing, as u have identity crisis urself!”

Totally agree with you. He indeed is looking handsome in ethnic wear. However, people who look up to the west for every single thing don't understand embracing their own culture and values. No need to waste time on such fools.
