Cristiano Ronaldo’s Diet Plan Set by NASA? Ramiz Raja Mocked Again
Ramiz Raja’s Bizarre Claim Resurfaces
Former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja is once again in the spotlight for his controversial statement regarding football legend Cristiano Ronaldo. In an earlier interview, Raja claimed that Ronaldo’s diet plan was designed by NASA scientists. This statement quickly went viral, leading to widespread trolling and mockery on social media.
Recently, a Pakistani sports show reignited the debate, with former cricketers Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis humorously referencing Raja’s claim, adding to the ongoing banter surrounding his statement.
The Viral Video – How It Started
During an interview on ‘Suno News,’ Ramiz Raja boldly stated:
“Ronaldo’s diet plan is set by NASA scientists.”
This statement was met with immediate skepticism and became a trending topic across social media platforms. Users ridiculed the claim, questioning the logic behind linking a footballer’s diet plan to NASA, which primarily focuses on space exploration.
Pakistani Show Revives the Controversy
A recent Pakistani sports show featuring former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja, Pakistani legends Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, and a host, once again brought up Ramiz Raja’s comment. In a clip from the show, Akram jokingly remarks:
“I heard Ronaldo’s diet plan is set by NASA.”
His statement triggered laughter among the panelists. The host then curiously asked who made the claim, prompting more laughter. Akram humorously passed the question to Waqar Younis, who, while laughing, said he had no idea. Throughout the segment, none of them explicitly named Ramiz Raja, but the context made it evident who they were referring to.
