Ahan Shetty excited to watch FIFA live
Actor Ahan Shetty is all set to jet off to Qatar for the FIFA World Cup. “I’m super excited about this,” an elated Shetty tells us. The 26-year-old continues, “I am supporting England. I hope they can bring the trophy home. The other team that I am supporting this time is Brazil. They have a really fantastic team this year. And if England or Brazil make it to the finals, then it will be a win-win for me.”
Talking more about his love for England, he says, “I have been supporting England ever since I became passionate about football and since I was a kid. David Beckham was my idol. It has always been England. They haven’t been able to lift anything for a very long time. So I’m hoping they make a splash in this World Cup tournament.”
When it comes to players, it is all about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi for him: “I want to see Ronaldo and Messi have a good tournament. It’s going to be their last World Cup, so I definitely want to see the two of them have a great time.”
The actor is leaving for Qatar with his friends and plans to indulge in touristy things on his free days. “I began planning this trip last year, trying to figure out where and when all of the games would be held. And everything in Qatar is quite close by, so we will also be travelling around a little bit too. I am going there on November 24 and will be there till November 30, during which I will be watching as many matches as possible. Then I have some work in India, so I will come back. I will be going back on December 12 to catch both the semi-finals and finals,” Shetty ends.
