Javed Akhtar, like many others, celebrated India’s victory over Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. However, the lyricist became furious and strongly condemned someone who made communal remarks on his social media post praising Virat Kohli. Following Team India’s win, Akhtar took to X (formerly Twitter) to congratulate Kohli for his century.
He wrote, “Virat Kohli, zindabad (long live)!!! We all are so so so proud of you !!!" To this, a troll wrote, " “Javed. Babar ka baap Kohli hai (Kohli is Babar’s father). Bolo (say), Jai Shree Ram."

Not one to take things lying down, Javed retorted, “Maen to sirf yeh kahoonga ke tum eik neech insaan ho aur neech hi marogay. Tum kya jano desh prem kya hota hai."

Taking a dig at him, another troll wrote, “Aj suraj kaha se nikla. Andar se dukh hoga apko to." To this, the veteran screenwriter and lyricist wrote, “Beta jab tumhare baap dada angrez ke jootay chaat rahe thay tab mere aazadi ke liye jai aur kala paani mein thay . Meri ragon mein desh premion ka khoon hai aur tumhari ragon mein angrez ke naukaron ka khoon hai . Iss anter ko bhoolo nahin (Son, when your grandfather was licking the boots of the British, I was fighting for our freedom in the jail and in Kala Pani. My veins carry the blood of patriots, while yours carry the blood of British servants. Don’t forget this difference)."
