Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh, who is known for his legendary career as an off-spinner as well as his aggression and bold style while speaking, uploaded a funny video on Instagram a few days ago in which he’s seen engaging in a funny abuse tussle with superstar Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan.
It turns out, it’s actually two videos merged together to give a comical sense and entertainment for the fans.
In the video, the first bit is of Saif Ali Khan saying “Macho” in an advertisement for an innerwear brand. However, the “Macho” also resembles a common north-Indian abuse, Bhajji, while taking a sip of his coffee, is taken aback by Saif’s word. The Turbanator looks furious and shots back to the actor in this mixed up video that has got the fans laughing in the comments section.
