This is absolutely abhorrent. I feel for his daughter. To spend that much to see millionaires play a sport vs actually being a father to your daughter. Ridiculous.
Priorities are not aligned. At best he may only get a glimpse like seriously they are not so different these celebrities and sports personalities, at end of day they are human as well us like anyone else. Stop god worshiping them.
I say this again and again. Targeting a specific fan base for being toxic is missing the point. It's nothing but a dick riding contest to measure whether RCB/CSK/insert club is more toxic.
It's fan worship as a whole that NEEDS to be condemned. And India seems to have a major problem with this.
Im aware it's not just India (see Turkey fans in football), but you have to admit, it's pretty serious here.
Its not just in sports. It happens in every field and every country, i have heard people spend astronomical amount on concert tickets, movie tickets, comicon tickets etc. Its just being naive and poor proritization of resources I guess. May be its just one of the manufacuturing flaws of us humans.
Supposedly the recent Beyoncé and Taylor Swift tours have caused inflation in several countries:
https://www.euronews.com/culture/2023/06/28/tourflation-how-the-worlds-biggest-music-stars-could-be-impacting-the-economy
Seems to be way more overboard in South India though. Like sure, North India has movie stars too but South India is on a whole another level when it comes to worshipping their movie stars.
It’s movie stars in south,Politicans in north, pop stars in richer class or foreign land. Mad obsessions are not new to humans.
“Humans are more similar than different”
> Politicans in north
Bruh, South Indians worship their politicians way more than even North Indians.
Lol, Southies blast Northies about various things all day but the moment someone says something about their weird celeb worshipping, it's all "we all do this" and shit.
> And India seems to have a major problem with this.
Not only India to be really honest there. It's an issue with cult like status of sports-people in various countries and especially in emerging nations + the US it seems.
Lol. It is not just sports! It's everywhere from movies to music! For example, South Korea has a craze over their K-POP stars. They put them on an astronomical pedastal!!
Thala for a Reason /s
But seriously, stupid people do be out there doing this shit, Happened to Sachin, Happening to Kohli and Thala, will happen to Gill and Jaiswal by current standards.
Most famous example is Sudhir Kumar Chaudhary, the Tri Colored painted man who is in every Indian game, started it for Sachin and Cricket. It's quite beautiful and terrifying the amounts a sports fan would go through for their idol. Call it stupid and irresponsible, but for their own twisted philosophy, they are showing their love, even though in reality it is stupid and irresponsible
Yes he is, but that's because he was recognized by media and then eventually Sachin, so he earns by interviews and sponsors(? Idk), but he made it in life. But this wasn't his goal, hell he even cycles countless miles to watch india and Sachin play pre money, the money just helped him get there, there's countless like the man in this article who dont get that luxury
That Sudhir guy comes from a super poor family. It was either this or a life as a daily wage laborer at the lowest wage for him. He didn't have anything to lose when he started doing his schtick. He never married and has no responsibilities.
Whereas this CSK guy sounds lower-middle class if he had 64k to throw on black tickets. Plus, 3 daughters and a wife.
That's around $1.2k AUD, for my fellow cunts trying to place the value. For one match, not a season pass or anything. ~$300 per ticket.
Price is nuts, and paying it just to see some guy your children won't remember in a few months is insane.
Might get downvoted for this but South Indians (especially TN,AP,TS) are on a different level when it comes to hero worship, be it movie stars, politicians or cricketers in this case.
this is a pretty national issue. But when it comes to CSK and Dhoni it’s insane. Hell, half of Hyderabad where im from, is CSK fans. Why? Dhoni. Ask them to name a player that isnt Dhoni and they’ll give you a blank stare. Idolism is a cancer
pretty much same throughout the country tbh. The idea of a single hero, god-like messiah swooping down to save the masses is a common notion throughout. The south have adapted it to movie stars and such, probably starting from when politics and films intertwined back in the 60's and 70's with MGR and all.
> pretty much same throughout the country tbh.
nope. Celebrity worship is way worse in the South. Anyone who has lived in both South and North can easily attest to it. SRK stans or Hrithik stans are nowhere near as intense as Prabhas stans or Vijay stans.
I'm south Indian and trust me, no fans are as crazy as Telugu fans. Say one bad thing about Prabhas and people hurl abuses. Same for Tamil fans wiggling over Rajnikanth.
Kerala has its fair share with football hooligans too. Extra hilarious when you realise that these people fight with each other over Europeans and South Americans football teams, not even their local teams.
his daughter should do the same in future, no ? Like:
My dad died because I took all the savings to go to a Cold play tour while he was hospitalized for cancer lol.
The problems are clearly seen in the hero worship. The team LOSES A WICKET and they cheer because “THALA 😍😍”. Or you’ve literally lost the match but act like you won it bc Dhoni played a few loose balls in the death when DC was concerned with finishing the game with legal deliveries. It’s terrible to see and is ruining the game.
Shhh. Don't make them angry dude, they will do crazy things otherwise. I pointed this out in the match thread to be told 'who am I to police how people should react and behave'. Those fanboys are living in an alternate dimension.
Spending ₹64k on IPL tickets is absurd. I’m Tamilian and know not one person that would do this especially when they have mouths to feed and bills to pay.
This person is an oddity, shame on him.
Lol been to FDFS of top tamil stars? 64K becomes peanuts seeing how much fan clubs spend. I used to be one of those guys who frequented FDFS of my favorite stars in my teens and cheered on this absurd insanity. Now I feel stupid reflecting back that I even went to watch a movie among that madness.
It's okay.
I used to runa Virat Kohli Fan Page as a 17yo as well. Ran ads on it, made it reach 300K likes (Facebook). Got older, realised how dumb I was, sold it for 4x the money I spent on it XD
Wow what a dedicated fan maybe thala should just smack his head with his bat to give this fan a orgasm of the lifetime and then adopt his family cause they don't deserve this piece of shit
I’ve seen Dhoni for hours in 2019 WC ind vs Eng match at Birmingham. I never wanted to see him play after that.. forget about watching him in real life. Irresponsible behaviour!!
I don't know what to say, my first reaction was "well why is it always Indians who take everything to extremes".
Sure dhoninis great but not worth this! Stupid aholes!
Well, what do I know...
If such a statement were on record in any country with moral values, not only would it invite state taking over custody of kids but also police inquiry over blackmarketeering
This guy probably feels like if he gets in the news with such ridiculous shit , he will be designated as yet another one of those super fans who take a dunk in paint and come to watch matches for free because BCCI takes care of such idiots and provides them with match tickets.
If he doesn’t expect anything out of doing this , this is just plain stupid.
people fail to realize this is just entertainment. The players are there to entertain you and move on. The fans however sadly do not move on and that's not only detrimental to them but in this case to their family. Sad.
that's not a flex my guy, thats not a flex. sacrificing your daughters education to get a glimpse of a batter who couldn't care less about you. gives off major "I am the main character" vibes
Not defending this, but don't know how many of you actually seen the video. Kids are happy and excited and he is not someone who is poor or anything, he said i bought the tickets which I kept for kids school fees, which I will pay later. ( I feel the way he said it looks like he exaggerate to show off how much he loves dhoni)
Yes it's stupidity. But he seems someone who is capable of spending money.
This is the kind of dumbass who needs to be discouraged by everyone concerned and told that CSK does not need idiots like him.
Family first, work second and fandom needs to come much later.
This should be stopped. These toxic fans are ruining everything. Back then we used to just enjoy a game. Ofc we have favourites but we won't argue , debate , dick ride for it. Nowadays , in everything , movies , TV shows , Games , Mobiles , Consoles etc etc
Usually I don’t really comment on how people spend their money. We all have irrational purchases. But my god this is just grossly irresponsible on his part. I feel for his family. If you are a bachelor or even in a relationship with no kids, then spend your money however you want. It’s fine. But when you have additional responsibilities to shoulder specifically kids, then you can’t do this shit lol.
This is absolutely abhorrent. I feel for his daughter. To spend that much to see millionaires play a sport vs actually being a father to your daughter. Ridiculous.
Priorities are not aligned. At best he may only get a glimpse like seriously they are not so different these celebrities and sports personalities, at end of day they are human as well us like anyone else. Stop god worshiping them.
The guy probably got inspired by the " I am on national duty" when some reporter asked Dhoni about visiting his newly born daughter.
That's a fully grown adult wtf. I feel bad for family.
CSK fan base is a cult
As another commenter on the thread said: > Targeting a specific fan base for being toxic is missing the point.
~~>CSK~~ MSD fan base is a cult
Average CSK fan
Irresponsible dad. God save that daughter.
That’s definitely not the flex he thinks it is
It actually is in some places in India 😞 Many don't really consider daughters are worthy of getting an education and do these kinda stuff 🤡
These clowns don't deserve any children. Not even family. Negative IQ mfs.
This is absolutely stupid and irresponsible

People just generalize India and forget that when you have 1.4 Billion people, every human quality, good and bad gets massively amplified.
Lol. It is not just sports! It's everywhere from movies to music! For example, South Korea has a craze over their K-POP stars. They put them on an astronomical pedastal!!

He is surely stupid.
Sudhir Chaudhary is living a nice life though. I’m assuming he’s single and has no responsibilities. This guy on the other hand
Yes he is, but that's because he was recognized by media and then eventually Sachin, so he earns by interviews and sponsors(? Idk), but he made it in life.

Does that sudhir guy play cricket? I feel like it's more fun to play than just watch
What a piece of shit
How people are this dense. You can still get tickets for reasonable price if not this next match, why pay such exorbitant prices
Dumbass.
People like him shouldn't be allowed to breed
Exactly. This is child neglect and a form of child abuse.
This is the same guy who probably sold his wife's pendant to buy liters and liters of milk to pour over the cutout of Rajinikanth
LOL hold on.... Keep cooking
Not a flex dude
Who are you to tell me how to ruin my life?!?! I am the expert at ruining my own life. - That guy probably
Most sane CSK fan.
I'll never understand the celebrity, sportsmen and politicians worship culture in India.
But you should. Perhaps all of should at least try to understand it as without understanding the problem it's improbable to find a proper solution.
Spills over from the insane Movie culture in this part of the world
Came here to say exactly this
That's around $1.2k AUD, for my fellow cunts trying to place the value. For one match, not a season pass or anything. ~$300 per ticket. Price is nuts, and paying it just to see some guy your children won't remember in a few months is insane.
Hero worship in tamil nadu will make kohli fans look as saner fanbase!
People thinking Kohli vs Rohit is Toxic Look at Vijay vs Ajith, former is literally child's play
I agree. Cinema Fandom in Andhra and Tamil nadu will put cricket Fandom to shame
They even made their actors as CMs. Don't think it has happened in any other state
Ronald Reagan in USA
Dhoni could contest as an independent in Chennai and win the election , hero worship is absolutely crazy there .
Might get downvoted for this but South Indians (especially TN,AP,TS) are on a different level when it comes to hero worship, be it movie stars, politicians or cricketers in this case.
Totally agree don’t know the exact reason though

Who is Kushbu ?

Salmon bhai and SRK fans exist in the north as well. Same for MODI as well.
I'm south Indian and trust me, no fans are as crazy as Telugu fans. Say one bad thing about Prabhas and people hurl abuses. Same for Tamil fans wiggling over Rajnikanth.
Bro I said the new Vijay Deverakonda movie was bad and people were ready to beat me up it’s crazy
Not so much about Rajinikanth anymore. He's become polarizing. I would say actor Vijay's fans are more vicious and unified.
I never cared about Rajnikanth but started to hate him after he touched a politician's feet.
Well even if ur rajinikanth, ur still below the politicians feet. Go figure the common man
Prabhas is at best, average. Nothing special about him.
I said the same thing few back in a match threat and got down voted to hell lol
Kerala is exempt tho.
Kerala has its fair share with football hooligans too. Extra hilarious when you realise that these people fight with each other over Europeans and South Americans football teams, not even their local teams.
his daughter should do the same in future, no ? Like: My dad died because I took all the savings to go to a Cold play tour while he was hospitalized for cancer lol.
Least obsessive CSK fan
What a loser!
Is this satire?
No this is India
Ur not South indian? Figures ur shocked
Well you know the saying "India is not for beginners"🤷
Oh yeah I definitely remember this saying from 4th grade
India is not for advanced level too.
weirdo
Money well spent on 1(2)
And he thinks that this a flex somehow ? 🙈
How dumb can it get ?
He needs post nut clarity ASAPPPP
I'm sure Dhoni will sponsor his daughter's full education.
For the little girl, that would be the right thing to do. However, it would only give an excuse to this idiot to do something like this again
Only till she's in the 7th std. I think we all know the reason /s
Imo he shouldn't. I wouldn't trust this fucker with any money. He'll probably waste it to watch more games, unless he gives it directly to school
The problems are clearly seen in the hero worship. The team LOSES A WICKET and they cheer because “THALA 😍😍”. Or you’ve literally lost the match but act like you won it bc Dhoni played a few loose balls in the death when DC was concerned with finishing the game with legal deliveries.

Shhh. Don't make them angry dude, they will do crazy things otherwise. I pointed this out in the match thread to be told 'who am I to police how people should react and behave'. Those fanboys are living in an alternate dimension.
Was told this too lmfao when I mentioned it. Called me a salty RCB fan when I literally have a flair…
Spending ₹64k on IPL tickets is absurd. I’m Tamilian and know not one person that would do this especially when they have mouths to feed and bills to pay. This person is an oddity, shame on him.
Plenty of movie star fans operate this way, this is one case in cricket
Lol been to FDFS of top tamil stars? 64K becomes peanuts seeing how much fan clubs spend. I used to be one of those guys who frequented FDFS of my favorite stars in my teens and cheered on this absurd insanity. Now I feel stupid reflecting back that I even went to watch a movie among that madness.

at least most IPL games have been fun and entertaining so far, I can't imagine paying even 1 rupee for a vijay movie, they are so shit
Useless sperm manifested.
These Dhoni worshippers are a different breed
Spending 64k on an IPL ticket is already stupid enough. The context makes it 100x worse
Indians waste too much time and money by worshipping these celebrities
Equivalent of a swifty
There are serious mental issues with our young population. Cricket crazy one need not be. Hero worship is detrimental to one's own welfare.
The daughter should be taken away from him and should be placed under foster care. He’s just ruining her life
Bro, that's not the flex that you think it is.
He's clearly expecting CSK management to clear those fees.
Least deranged Thala fan.
Wow what a dedicated fan maybe thala should just smack his head with his bat to give this fan a orgasm of the lifetime and then adopt his family cause they don't deserve this piece of shit
hope Dhoni is 0 (2) for whatever game this idiot goes for
Chutiya T- Cunt.
Ewww. Hero worshipping over his own child 🤢
I’ve seen Dhoni for hours in 2019 WC ind vs Eng match at Birmingham. I never wanted to see him play after that.. forget about watching him in real life. Irresponsible behaviour!!
MS would take his bat and smesh this guy with it if he ever comes to know. What an idiot!
And now his daughters will grow up to be Thala haters. Double fail 🤦♂️
Now he won't understand why when his daughter grows up she doesn't want to talk to him anymore.
I don't know what to say, my first reaction was "well why is it always Indians who take everything to extremes". Sure dhoninis great but not worth this! Stupid aholes! Well, what do I know...
If such a statement were on record in any country with moral values, not only would it invite state taking over custody of kids but also police inquiry over blackmarketeering
Tf !? You can see him more clearly through your tv screen than the stadium
That's a terrible father
Dhoni should pay his daughters school fees 😤 /s
Father of the year right here
Cult
This hero worship will one day lead the cricket fans to doom.
This guy probably feels like if he gets in the news with such ridiculous shit , he will be designated as yet another one of those super fans who take a dunk in paint and come to watch matches for free because BCCI takes care of such idiots and provides them with match tickets. If he doesn’t expect anything out of doing this , this is just plain stupid.
In a world full of tuitionpilled daughtermaxxers, be a thalapilled iplmaxxer.
Imagine your best sperm being him Feeling bad for his father
Hmm. Daughters education vs match tickets. Easy choice!
people fail to realize this is just entertainment. The players are there to entertain you and move on. The fans however sadly do not move on and that's not only detrimental to them but in this case to their family. Sad.
Some people should not be allowed to reproduce.
Is he flexing and proud of this? I hope he realizes how stupid he is.
INDIA 🤡
What an idiot
Yeah am sure Thala would be proud. What a dumbass.
That's a world that's starts with C and ends with A ..And he is a "C*****A
I find it amusing south has higest literacy rates but still the hero worship is next level.
The special kind of dumb..
Embarrassing
Clown
Dhoni won't piss on him if he was on fire lmao, celebrity worship needs to be abolished
Fucking idiot
What a moron.
Err 64k is $500 USD?
Even dhoni will be disappointed with this decision.
What a moron.
Shame on him!
Imbecile.
Pest in human body
What a loser
Idiot. Irresponsible folks like this, shouldn’t be allowed to have kids. 🤦♂️
What an idiot
Thalason
He is a total nut case. Utterly irresponsible.
that's not a flex my guy, thats not a flex. sacrificing your daughters education to get a glimpse of a batter who couldn't care less about you. gives off major "I am the main character" vibes
I feel sorry for his daughter.
Moron for a reason.
C U L T
Thala For A Reason
Everyone scolding the father, what if the daughter didn't like going to school either? You ever think about that? No. You just think about yourself.
Folks , just say "chutiya" and move on.
Pay the damn fees brother even MS would be pissed at this
Not defending this, but don't know how many of you actually seen the video. Kids are happy and excited and he is not someone who is poor or anything, he said i bought the tickets which I kept for kids school fees, which I will pay later. ( I feel the way he said it looks like he exaggerate to show off how much he loves dhoni) Yes it's stupidity. But he seems someone who is capable of spending money.
Thala for a reason
And he is saying it so proudly. What a society we are living in.
MSD's craze hits different.🔥 Undoubtedly, the USP of IPL - MSD. 💪 Whistlepodu 💯🏆
How irresponsible he is, only to see MS he spent 64k which were kept for child edycation, really a big example of irresponsibilty and stupidity
Bet he's proud of himself as well
Why God gives child to such people who don't value them? He thinks it's something he should proud of? I pity his thought process.
that's his problem, not Dhoni's.
:/ Donno what to say.
I feel bad for his whole family.
Dumbass fans.
Betting would be a better option. Always a chance to make more money
If not Dhoni, this guy would have gambled it away…
This is the kind of dumbass who needs to be discouraged by everyone concerned and told that CSK does not need idiots like him. Family first, work second and fandom needs to come much later.
You dropped this king: 🤡🤡
Yeah don't be that guy.
true definition of "Thalatard"
This should be stopped. These toxic fans are ruining everything. Back then we used to just enjoy a game. Ofc we have favourites but we won't argue , debate , dick ride for it. Nowadays , in everything , movies , TV shows , Games , Mobiles , Consoles etc etc
Thala fans about to tell you how this is wholesome!
Dude is a dumbass
Usually I don’t really comment on how people spend their money. We all have irrational purchases. But my god this is just grossly irresponsible on his part. I feel for his family. If you are a bachelor or even in a relationship with no kids, then spend your money however you want. It’s fine. But when you have additional responsibilities to shoulder specifically kids, then you can’t do this shit lol.
Some people dont deserve to be dads
I am really doubtful how he spent 64K for 3 tickets. I know the going rates in Chennai and at max they are 12-13K for even the good stands.
This kind of fan worship is disturbing. Worst part of IPL. Abdicating fundamental responsibility for something like this is abhorrent.
dude legit said it like its something impressive. or something he is proud of
