The Wankhede Stadium witnessed the star-studded presence of Bollywood personalities, including actress Sonam Kapoor and her husband Anand Ahuja, who hosted a lavish house party in honour of the football legend. Among the attendees was Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, who shared a picture of himself with David Beckham on social media, recounting their conversation about Manchester United and the club's current status without revealing further details. However, a troll took a dig on Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor's picture with David Beckham and prompted him to clap back.

The Mirzya actor replied, "The only difference is I never instigate it... I do my own thing, but if someone is logging onto Twitter, going on my page to quote tweet me and simultaneously trying to low blow me (contradictory from them, by the way), I'll say what I want to them if I'm in the mood."
