The popular television actress Keya Payel is a supporter of the Argentina team. She had bought fireworks to celebrate a win for her favourite side. But Argentina lost the World Cup football final 1-0 to Spain, letting the title slip away and dismaying its supporters.
Even after Argentina’s defeat in the final, Keya Payel set off those fireworks anyway, drawing both praise and criticism. Late on Sunday night she posted a video on her social media showing her setting off fireworks on a rooftop. In the caption she wrote: “I was thinking I’d set them off if we won — but they’d have gone to waste, so, well…”
That was not all. In a joking comment on the post, she added: “We didn’t play today, so we didn’t win — if we’d played, we’d have won.”
The video quickly spread online after she posted it. Many praised her sense of humour, while some teased Argentina supporters in fun. Amid football fans’ varied reactions after the World Cup final, Keya Payel’s unusual celebration has become a talking point online.
