Shoaib Akhtar demands no singing or dancing on Indian comedy show

Shoaib Akhtar demands no singing or dancing on Indian comedy show

Who knew one of the fastest bowlers was scared to shake a leg on stage?
Updated 27 Jul, 2016

Pakistan's Rawalpindi Express may be hosting a comedy show across the border, but he has refused to sing or dance on stage. Stage fright much?

Shoaib Akhar, who will be seen judging Indian comedy show Mazaak Mazaak Mein, has demanded the show producers that he not participate in any singing or dancing on the show, reported Deccan Chronicle.

In fact, the Pakistani cricketer has asked them to include a ‘no dancing and crooning’ clause in his contract.

A source from the set of the show told DC, “He may have been fierce on the field as a cricketer, but shaking a leg on stage gives him jitters. Since it’s a reality show, he thought that the makers might ask him to sing or dance on stage to up the entertainment quotient. So he included the clause to ensure that it doesn’t happen at all.”

The makers of the show feel obliged by Shoaib Aktar's demands.

The show, which was previously tentatively titled Indian Mazak League, will see cricketers Shoaib Akhtar and Harbhajan Singh come together as judges.

The cricketer like Shoeb Akhtar having a lots of experience in the international cricket must share his experience to Pakistan new talented bowlers.he must join PCB for the growth of new generation but he is going to join comedy shows which is seems like a joke itself.

Everyone goes where money is. PCB have no money to pull top class players like Shoaib.

Pakistan's cricket is getting down. The greats of Pakistan should teach youngsters in their personal capacity if they don't get offer from public circles.

No singing or dancing and cheap romance means that the show will be a flop in India.

Silly Move ,i believe he should have preferred to be a cricket coach rather then to be a comedy judge.

No stage jitters. He doesn't want to make a fool of himself like Wasim Akram. I respect that.

@Imtiaz what sense? It appears that just about everyone is looking for greener pastures to move to.

One has the right to survive. Sure SA has lot of experience in intl cricketing he can share n train bowlers. Has PCB bother to call him on respectable terms? I doubt it. He is forced to join comedy show across the border. Nothing wrong our actors already performing in bollywood.

Yes friends it is his life let him decide and he have right to move on green pasture.but the main problem is Pakistan upcoming talent need the players like him who acheived landmark in international cricket.but PCB is also responsible for such ignorance as we see Saqlain Mushtaq is busy to give success to England against Pakistan.all the past experience cricketers have no use for Pakistani team.PCB must be focus on it.
