Popular Pakistani YouTuber Saad ur Rehman, famously known as Ducky Bhai, has denied rumours about him ignoring former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar.
The rumours started after a video from an event went viral on social media. Some users claimed that Ducky Bhai deliberately ignored Shoaib Akhtar during the event.
Responding to the claims, Ducky Bhai shared a message on his Instagram Story. He said that he had already met Shoaib Akhtar before the event started.
According to him, they greeted each other and had a short conversation before Shoaib Akhtar went to the stage.
He said that there was no need to meet again in front of the cameras because they had already met in private. He further added that the viral video gave people the wrong impression.
Ducky Bhai also said that he and Shoaib Akhtar work in different fields. He said he is not a cricketer and Shoaib Akhtar is not a vlogger.
At the end of his message, Ducky Bhai asked social media users not to spread rumours without checking the facts.
Netizens react
Netizens have shown mixed reactions to the clarification. One criticising the YouTuber’s way of talking said, “At least show some respect for the champion. Shoaib is a legend, and the way you are saying mera un se koi lena dena nahi shows your character. You could have said this in a better way, but your way of speaking shows your upbringing.”
Another netizen commented, “Then why do you need to clarify, bs kr bhai kuch Janay b dia kro koi content nai toh khabarnama sun lo in se.”
A netizen stated, “Ducky Bhai has always shown great respect for Shoaib Akhtar. He even said in my vlog that Shoaib Akhtar is a true legend and the pride of Pakistan. Creating a false narrative is unfair. Ducky is one of the most humble creators and is known for his genuine, organic content.”
