# Bollywood Meets the GOAT: Ajay Devgn, Tiger Shroff, and Messi Create Magic at Wankhede! Imagine the electric buzz of Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, where cricket legends collide with football royalty—**Ajay Devgn and son Yug, alongside Tiger Shroff, just shared an unforgettable moment with Lionel Messi** during his epic GOAT India Tour![1][2] The star-studded evening unfolded as part of Messi's highly anticipated Mumbai leg, drawing massive crowds chanting his name and waving Argentina flags. Accompanied by teammates Luis Suarez and Rodrigo De Paul, the Argentine icon received a hero's welcome at the iconic venue. Bollywood heavyweights **Ajay Devgn arrived with his young son Yug Devgn**, while **Tiger Shroff** joined the fray, turning the event into a cross-sport spectacle that had fans buzzing.[1] This came hot on the heels of Kareena Kapoor Khan and her sons Taimur and Jeh's viral pics from the same high-energy gathering, as highlighted in recent coverage.[query reference] Messi didn't just dazzle on the field—he connected deeply with India. He shared a warm hug with football legend Sunil Chhetri, exchanged jerseys with cricket maestro Sachin Tendulkar (who gifted him a signed Team India jersey in return for a football), and even held up the Indian flag proudly, earning roars from the crowd.[1][2] Youngsters from the Project Mahadev programme got a thrill of their lives, passing balls with the GOAT himself, while thousands of fans—from kids with posters to adults in jerseys—created an atmosphere of pure football fever.[2] Bollywood's presence added that desi glamour: Ajay and Yug's family vibe melted hearts, and Tiger's athletic energy fit right in with the sporting stars. Despite some crowd boos directed at the actors amid the Messi mania, the night ended on a high note, celebrating respect, talent, and cross-cultural love—"respect earned, love returned," as fans put it.[2] Messi's tour, marked by tight security after Kolkata hiccups, has been a smooth hit in Mumbai and Hyderabad, building hype for his Delhi finale with PM Narendra Modi.[2]
