Aparshakti Khurana is back from the ongoing FIFA World Cup at Qatar, however the fever is still on. The actor said that one item have been checked off from his bucket list after his visit to the match. He also wishes to go back to Qatar for the finals.
“The vibe was beyond words. I have been a fan of football since forever and FIFA being the biggest sporting ever was always on my bucket list. To finally be able to see my dream come true was thrilling,” Khurana added.
The actor told while speaking to Hindustan Times, “FIFA has always been on my bucket lists but somehow that plan never came to fruition, either because of work or personal commitments but I am glad 2022 is the year when it did! I think the high point for me was the wonder goal from Richarlison among others”.
He further added that he was accompanied by his neighbour, “I was there with a neighbour of mine this time but maybe next time, my wife and daughter can come along the next time”.
“If I had to describe the FIFA fever in one word, it would be exhilarating for sure. Every player, every goal was a treat to watch. I planned it very by chance. I had two-three days off from work and quickly managed to run to Doha,” avers the actor.
He also spoke about the team he is rooting for, Argentina. “It is my favourite. So definitely supporting the team,” he says, adding, “I am Team Messi always”.
“The FIFA this year is more nerve-wracking I would say as compared to the previous world cups. It’s also more challenging but then that makes it even exciting to watch,” he adds.
On going back to for the finals again, he said, “I am back to work in India now and leaving for Sri Lanka in a couple of days for another shoot but I do want to go back to watch the finals and I hope everything aligns well for that”.
