Hollywood actor Kumail Nanjiani, who grew up in Pakistan, expressed nostalgia for India-Pakistan cricket matches, noting they've lost their former "brotherhood" vibe. Speaking on Hasan Minhaj's YouTube channel, Nanjiani observed that while both were once top cricket teams, "now Pakistan is not that great and India is the best in the world." He recalled how these matches once celebrated similarities between nations despite political differences, emphasizing shared culture and language. Nanjiani lamented that nationalism has increasingly seeped into Indian and Pakistani films, creating unhelpful animosity. He believes the matches previously highlighted unity over division, with people from both countries connecting despite governmental tensions, a sentiment largely lost today. (PC: X)
