Messi’s hat-trick sparks celebration among showbiz stars

Argentina got off to a winning start today, defeating Algeria 3–0 thanks to a sensational hat-trick from Lionel Messi. While the dominant display on the pitch left fans in the stadium ecstatic, the excitement quickly spilled over onto social media, with local showbiz stars joining in the celebrations.

Actress Nadia Ahmed, who watched the match from the stadium, wrote on Facebook, “Yes, we are here, Argentina. Let the roar be heard!”

Actor Amit Hasan, who is currently in the United States, took a playful jab at rival fans, writing, “My prediction came true. We scored three goals. Feeling upset?” — implying that he somehow knew the scoreline beforehand.

Actress Keya Payel was full of praise for Messi after watching the match. “Three goals. One GOAT. Total domination! When this man is at his very best, there’s simply no stopping him,” she wrote.
 

Actor Zayed Khan took a trip down memory lane, sharing, “Congratulations, Argentina. It was because of Maradona that I fell in love with football and became an Argentina supporter. Outstanding, Lionel Messi.”

Pori Moni blended football fever with motherhood, sharing a photo of her son and writing, “My little Messi. Masha Allah.” The post perfectly captured the intersection of football fandom and maternal affection.

Singer Luipa, meanwhile, appeared more intrigued by her husband than the match itself. “My husband never says whether he supports Argentina or Brazil… but today I’m starting to have my suspicions…” she wrote, joking that her husband, who apparently slept through the game, had become the real mystery of the day.

Actress Sallha Khanam Nadia became emotional while watching the match with her child for the first time. “This was Sana’s first-ever Argentina match, and Argentina won, with Messi scoring a hat-trick! What could be a more beautiful way to begin a World Cup journey?” she wrote.

Actress Zakia Bari Mamo kept it short and sweet, posting, “Good morning, everyone. What a wonderful victory.”

Another actress, Mondera Chakroborty, shared her excitement directly from the stadium, writing, “My love Messi, all my love for my favourite team, Argentina.” Her admiration for the football icon seemed to overshadow even the scoreline itself.
