Both actors will no doubt be looking forward to tonight's after-hours match between Brazil (Mr Bachchan's favourite team) and Mexico
Quick Take
Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed.
Bollywood superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan agree that last night's World Cup face-off between Germany and Portugal was a cracker of a match.
Mr Bachchan described the match as a 'humdinger':
T 1517 -This game : Germany v Portugal is a humdinger .. clinical by the Germans, and Portugal .. well .. a bit unfortunate.. !!
SRK saluted the German demolition squad:
The Germans need to give a warning before they do this to another team...."Achtung Hochspannung!....at least.
Achtung Hochspannung is the German for 'danger, high voltage.'
Germany crushed 10-man Portugal 4-0, helped by a hat-trick by Thomas Muller. Portugal, led by Bollywood favourite Cristiano Ronaldo, lost defender Pepe after he was red-carded for head-butting Muller.
Both Mr Bachchan and SRK, ardent football fans, have been up nights watching the matches and tweeting.
SRK put his passion for the game into this rather poetic tweet:
Prayers done. Forgiveness asked for. Football on nothing else needs to be asked for. Fantastic....Forgiveness, Football & Footloose tonight.
Mr Bachchan had a more intellectual take:
T 1517 -Comment from a dear friend on the World Cup .. in Latin : 'panem et circenses'.. Fine..guess what it means ? Quick .. no googling !
" panem et circenses " bread and circuses : provision of the means of life and recreation by government to appease discontent !!
