Millennium Post Delhi
|Delhi 16 December 2025
NEW DELHI: Olympic gold-winning former Indian shooter Abhinav Bindra on Monday criticised the manner in which Argentine football great Lionel Messi’s tour of India has unfolded, saying he feels a “quiet sadness” seeing millions being spent for “moments of proximity photographs and fleeting access” to the legend.

Messi’s three-day, four-city G.O.A.T Tour has expectedly triggered fan frenzy everywhere he has travelled.
It has also caused chaos as politicians, film celebrities, industrialists and officials have jostled to click pictures with him. In Kolkata this triggered a violent reaction from the general public, which failed to get even a clear glimpse of him despite spending thousands for tickets.
