In the recent affairs, we have seen how public figures are put in extremely compromising situations where they are held accountable. We often forget that these public figures, deep down, have their own feelings as well which they do not always need to hide.
Similar to this is what happened Pakistani cricketer Umar Gul who was seen getting physical with a few men on the street and also got furious in verbal communication.
Ahmed Shahzad was also seen with Gul, but his reaction wasn’t as provocative as Umar Gul.
Here’s the Video which Surfaced on Social Media

On the Other Side, the Real Story behind the Brawl was Revealed
It was stated that fans pushed the cricketers for no reason. Despite being pushed a couple of times, the cricketers maintained their cool but when it got too much, the reaction by Umar Gul seemed natural.
The other side of story; some fans pushed Ahmed and Umar Gul, hit them on back, not once, not twice, but four/five times. Reaction natural. https://t.co/w7pmv0eLJL

Additionally, it was also stated that Umar Gul felt upset over what he did and to make up for it, he invited the person he got into a fight with and gave his shirt to him as an apology token.
Although UG was provoked by fans, yet he called the fan involved to dressing room next day, said sorry to him and also gifted him a shirt. https://t.co/w7pmv0eLJL

These cricketers, despite being public figures are humans after all. They have to meet the expectations of the entire nation. Nonetheless, they have the right to be angry when fans put them under pressure for no reason.
