Actress Shreya Dhanwanthary has returned to India from Qatar, but she is still thinking about FIFA. She even acknowledges that she is envious of others who plan to watch the championship game. Dhanwanthary admits that seeing the FIFA action live was her first experience and that it left an impression on her that she would never forget.
“It was my first ever experience to watch matches at the FIFA World Cup, and I must say that it was incredible. To watch a live World Cup match with the world’s best players trying their level best, is something else,” Dhanwanthary says with excitement.

The 34-year-old continues, “The matches that I saw were so high in energy. I saw Portugal versus Switzerland and Brazil versus South Korea. And they were such high scoring matches. Like, when I talk about Brazil, I mean I saw Neymar in action. Not to forget, I also got a chance to see Cristiano Ronaldo play in the field, which was incredible and will always stay special. That will always remain a high point for me”.
The mention of Ronaldo brings to mind Portugal’s quarterfinal exit from the FIFA World Cup, which sparked a major frenzy in the online community as fans vented their displeasure. After losing to Morocco, Ronaldo and the team missed their opportunity to win the World Cup trophy.

Dhanwanthary says that even though she was always pulling for Morocco, she finds it unfortunate that people won’t get to see Cristiano Ronaldo play in the championship game.
“I agree it was a bummer that Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t get a shot, at least of getting a World Cup, but I was rooting for Morocco. And I am actually very happy that Morocco is in the semifinals. I am supporting Morocco through and through, even though I know Argentina and France are also in the fight for the same title,” she says, “no matter what the result of semi-finals are, my heart will always be with Morocco”.
On not being able to go back for the final play, Dhanwanthary shares, “Unfortunately, I’m not able to go back for the finals. But my goodness, what an incredible experience it was. I’m jealous of all the people who are there and watching it”.
“Here (in India) as well, it is turning out to be a great experience for everybody because I know all of my friends are staying up till four or five in the morning and watching these matches. So it’s pretty incredible,” she concludes.
