Condemning the spot-fixing in IPL matches, ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ co-stars Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone today said that the act was sad and shameful. “I am not cricket fan. It is a shameful act for cricket. Three people have been arrested… All this is not a good thing. IPL is a good platform, there are so many fans… It is a disappointing, shameful act,” Ranbir told reporters here at an event. Echoing similar sentiments, Deepika said, “What has happened is a sad thing. It is shameful. Because of the mistake of one or two people, the entire sporting world gets a bad name.” Deepika’s father Prakash Padukone is a former badminton champion. Ranbir and Deepika were present at the promotional event of their upcoming film ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’. Indian pacer S Sreesanth and other two bowlers– Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan– from Rajasthan Royals team have been arrested for spot-fixing IPL matches. PTI
