Cricketer Hardik Pandya received praise for his calm response to an abusive remark from a fan outside a Mumbai restaurant after a Christmas dinner. As Pandya was leaving with his girlfriend, a fan, unable to get a selfie due to the crowd and security, shouted "Bhaad mein jao" (go to hell). Pandya, whether he heard it or not, continued to his car without confrontation. Videos of the incident, highlighting his composure, have gone viral, with many commending his maturity in handling public scrutiny.
