He made around Rs 80 lakh to Rs 1 crore off it. He then called me and asked me to post a story about it. I told him, &#8216;I&#8217;ll forgive but I&#8217;ll never forget.&#8217; If someone wrongs you, you should forgive them but never forget.<!-- --> If you forget, they will do the same thing again. He is the biggest example of that.

I used to call him a brother. But in the last one or two months he did that ad, and now I have blocked him on Instagram,&#8221; he said, underlining how serious the fallout has become.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Despite saying he has forgiven Harbhajan for the past, Sreesanth insisted he hasn\u2019t forgotten it. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>&#8220;My parents have taught me to forgive but never forget. I don&#8217;t have any complaints against him, nor do I need him. May God bless him and his family,&#8221; the former pacer added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>However, he also questioned Harbhajan\u2019s public persona, stating, &#8220;He might be a great person. But for me, from my time playing for India until now, it is all an act. That act is something Sreesanth does not accept.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/s-sreesanth-ends-all-ties-with-harbhajan-singh-claims-he-made-rs-80-lakh-to-rs-1-crore-from-slapgate\/articleshow\/130509916.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>S Sreesanth cuts all ties with Harbhajan Snigh NEW DELHI: The long-standing tension between S&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13780,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[32732,6345,4879,1842,32730,32728,32729,32731],"class_list":["post-13779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-advertisement-controversy","tag-harbhajan-singh","tag-indian-cricket","tag-ipl","tag-ipl-controversy","tag-s-sreesanth","tag-slapgate-incident","tag-sreesanth-harbhajan-feud"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
