“I watched your full interview with Mr. Mukesh Ambani” – Pakistan's Danish Kaneria engages in a war of words with Indian journalist

Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria recently engaged in a war of words with India-based journalist Rajdeep Sardesai.

That came after Kaneria criticized the journalist for singing a Bollywood song ‘Zindagi ke safar mein’ to the Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot during an interview inside a private jet.

For the unversed, Kaneria labeled Sardesai a bathroom singer. The latter hit back at him by calling the former a match-fixer.

In response, Kaneria slammed Sardesai by saying he watched his interview with business tycoon Mukesh Ambani, who once trolled him on air.

The original post on X read:

“Rajdeep sitting in private jet, singing songs to Rajasthan CM Imagine then jokes, memes and taunts if a journalist did this to a BJP CM But nobody will call Rajdeep as "godi media" Because Rajdeep has liberal privilege.”

Danish Kaneria replied to Sardesai’s video singing for Rajasthan CM:

“When bathroom singer became journalist.”

Sardesai retorted:

“When a Pakistani spot fixer/match fixer becomes part of the Mysore Pak IT cell. Go get a life @DanishKaneria61. Next time watch the full half hour interview, not the 60 seconds that your IT cell Chief tells you to tweet. Shameless.”

Kaneria replied:

“How often has Rajdeep fixed the news to align with his agenda or that of his masters? Misusing the term 'mysore pak' like he does with his journalist title! BTW, I watched your full interview with Mr. Mukesh Ambani.”
