This will be the first time,” adding, “Until recently, there were no issues, but he advertised it again. He made around Rs 80 crore to Rs 1 crore from it. Then he called me and asked me to write a story about it, but I never forgave him.” If someone hurts you, you should forgive but never forget. If you forget, they will do the same again. He is the biggest example of that. There is no doubt about it.’
‘No More Relationship’
Sreesanth did not hold back in describing how things are now. “I have no relationship with that person. I used to call him bro. But in the last two months he made that ad and now I’ve blocked him on Instagram,” he said, underscoring the severity of the fallout.Although he said he has forgiven Harbhajan’s past, Sreesanth insisted that he has not forgotten it.“My parents taught me to forgive but never to forget. I have no complaints against him nor do I need him. May God bless him and his family,” the former pacer added.However, he also questioned Harbhajan’s public persona, stating, “He could be a great person. But for me, from the time I played for India till now, it’s all an act. This act is something that Sreesanth does not accept.”
