S Sreesanth ends all ties with Harbhajan Singh, claims he made ‘Rs 80 lakh to Rs 1 crore’ from slapgate
S Sreesanth has cut ties with Harbhajan Singh after the IPL slapgate row resurfaced. Upset over an ad linked to the incident, he said, "I'll forgive but I'll never forget." Sreesanth added, "I have no relationship with that person," blocked him on social media, and called his public image “an act”.
NEW DELHI: The long-standing tension between S Sreesanth and Harbhajan Singh has resurfaced, and this time it appears to have completely ended their relationship. The two former India teammates, once involved in the infamous 2008 IPL “slapgate” incident, had seemingly moved on over the years. However, recent developments have reopened old wounds, with Sreesanth making it clear that he no longer shares any bond with Harbhajan and has even blocked him on social media.
According to Sreesanth, the issue flared up again after Harbhajan allegedly featured in an advertisement based on the slapgate controversy. This, he claims, was deeply upsetting. As quoted by Mathrubhumi, he said, "I have never spoken about Bhajji in any interview.
This is going to be the first time," before adding, "Until recently, there were no problems, but he made an ad about it once again. He made around Rs 80 lakh to Rs 1 crore off it. He then called me and asked me to post a story about it.
I told him, 'I'll forgive but I'll never forget. ' If someone wrongs you, you should forgive them but never forget. If you forget, they will do the same thing again.
