The six-time world player of the year had to part ways with the club because they couldn't finalise the contract due to a financial hurdle
Many were left heartbroken on August 6 after the football club Barcelona announced that its superstar player and captain Lionel Messi will not play for the club anymore. The six-time world player of the year had to part ways with the club because they couldn't finalise the contract due to a financial hurdle. Messi had been with Barcelona for more than two decades.
After the news broke out, heartbroken fans and others took to social media to express what they felt through memes and they were joined by our very own Smriti Irani. The actor turned politician also took to social media to share a meme on Messi leaving Barcelona.
The meme that Smriti shared was of herself as Tulsi from her debut TV serial, 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi'. Now before you see the meme, the context is extremely necessary. For the unversed, Smriti always kept an earthen lamp (Diya) lit for her husband, Mihir in the show. Now, for those who remember, when Mihir dies in the show, the earthen lamp also gets extinguished. Now, the meme also shows a similar thing where the lamp is lit till Messi is in Barcelona and the moment he leaves the lamp gets extinguished here also.
Have a look at the meme:
The meme has gathered more than 26 thousand likes and counting. The meme was initially posted by FilterCopy but gained traction after the politician posted it on her official Instagram account.
Smriti Irani is currently the Union Cabinet Minister for Textiles and Women and Child Development. Before she entered politics, she was already a household name because at the time she played the role of 'Tulsi' in Ekta Kapoor's longest-running the most popular TV show, 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' which ran for eight years.
