Actor Shreya Dhanwanthary might be back to India but her heart is still at the FIFA. Seeing the merry and charm at the world cup, the actor have often felt jealous of people who will be watching the FIFA finals live.
“It was my first ever experience to watch matches at the FIFA World Cup, and I must say that it was incredible. To watch a live World Cup match with the world’s best players trying their level best, is something else,” Dhanwanthary adds on with excitement.
The Family Man actor further adds on, “The matches that I saw were so high in energy. I saw Portugal versus Switzerland and Brazil versus South Korea. And they were such high scoring matches. Like, when I talk about Brazil, I mean I saw Neymar in action. Not to forget, I also got a chance to see Cristiano Ronaldo play in the field, which was incredible and will always stay special. That will always remain a high point for me”.
Dhanwanthary expresses her dissatisfaction as people will miss Ronaldo in action in the FIFA finals also the actor always rooted for Morocco.
“I agree it was a bummer that Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t get a shot, at least of getting a World Cup, but I was rooting for Morocco. And I am actually very happy that Morocco is in the semifinals. I am supporting Morocco through and through, even though I know Argentina and France are also in the fight for the same title,” she says, “no matter what the result of semi-finals are, my heart will always be with Morocco”.
The actor is sad of not being able to attend the final play, she says, “Unfortunately, I’m not able to go back for the finals. But my goodness, what an incredible experience it was. I’m jealous of all the people who are there and watching it”.
“Here (in India) as well, it is turning out to be a great experience for everybody because I know all of my friends are staying up till four or five in the morning and watching these matches. So it’s pretty incredible,” she wraps up.
