India vs Sri Lanka: Bollywood gears up for World Cup final showdown

MUMBAI: All the three Khans will be going to watch India play Sri Lanka in the finals on April 2. Shah Rukh Khan, just after India's batting, said that 260 was not a bad score and if Team India wins "no one can stop me from going to the finals at Wankhede".

Salman Khan, who was partying at Poison and watching the match, said that he had no plans of going for the semifinals. But he said, "I will try and go for the finals. Cricket is a very unpredictable game and with Pakistan in the semifinals I felt India toh gayee."

Aamir Khan was at the semifinals in Mohali. The actor is expected to be at the finals too.

Some other celebrities like Abhishek Bachchan tweeted: "Well done India—diya ghumake."

Arshi Hashmi from Pakistan who works with Women Beyond Borders said, "Well, people are certainly sad but another side to look at it is that the cup will remain in South Asia. The Indian team played very well. It is also important that nobody was talking about Pakistan."

"Once the team started performing well, suddenly the whole country got involved and we really enjoyed the feeling of being one. I hope and pray that this feeling of unity and involvement with the country with positive approach will continue. South Asia will be the World Cup champion and that's the good part," Hashmi added.
