Adnan Siddiqui criticises VIP seating at National Stadium

Actor Adnan Siddiqui expressed disappointment over the obstructed view from the VIP enclosure at Karachi’s National Bank Stadium during the opening match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 between Pakistan and New Zealand.

Siddiqui shared a video highlighting visibility issues caused by metal beams and railings, making it difficult for spectators to watch the match.

The footage quickly gained traction on social media, with many fans echoing concerns about the stadium’s seating arrangements. Some likened the restricted view to watching the game through a cricket helmet.

While Siddiqui did not make an official complaint, his reaction has sparked discussions about the stadium’s infrastructure and arrangements for high-profile attendees.
