Don't name your kid Yakub or Dawood: Irfan Pathan's response to this remark shows why name debate is irrelevant
Irfan Pathan cleans bowls a mean minded Twitter user.
After all the outrage regarding actors Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan naming their newborn Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi, a Twitterati tried to give a piece of mind to Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan on the same issue. And guess what happened next. The all-rounder yorked the user in the most gentle way.
"Big Congrats @IrfanPathan On being blessed from a baby boy! But bhai uska nam #Daud ya phir #Yakub mt rkh dena!This world is Ridiculous!," tweeted Divyanshu Raj which means, 'don't name your baby Daud or Yakub'.
But here came Pathan's reply, "@MSDivyanshu naam chahe jo bhi rakhenge lekin Ek baat Pakki hai wo bhi papa or bade papa ki tarah is mulk ka naam Roshan hi karega #withlove." (Whatever may be the name of my child, one thing is guaranteed that like his father or paternal uncle, he will make the country proud).
Well, that's how you shut up mean minded people.
Eventually Pathan named his son Imran.
