Actor apologises to cricketer
He also penned a long note in the caption, as he wrote, “Dearest ajinkyarahane ! It was so wonderful to travel with you from Delhi to Mumbai! Have always been an admirer of you as an ace player. But loved your humility and grace as a person too! Sorry! Me and my language was fine and decent till our plane touched down and then suddenly took off again.

Love and prayers always! Jai Hind! Cricket Actor FanClub”.
