Watch: Indian flag gesture made by Pakistani athlete Shahzaib Rindh after a win breaks the internet
In the wake of winning the Karate Battle Association, Shahzaib Rindh conveyed both Pakistan’s and India’s banners. He later made sense of his signal.
India versus Pakistan fights on the stage are interesting, yet at whatever point competitors from the two countries go over one another, extraordinary rivalry is delivered. It was a similar situation when India’s Rana Singh and Pakistan’s Shahzaib Rindh faced each other in the Karate Battle on Saturday. The serious fight saw the Pakistani competitor emerge victorious 2-1. The challenge went into the third round after Pakistan’s Rizwan Ali and India’s Himanshu Kaushik won the first and second matches separately.
More than the game, it was Shahzaib’s motion that turned into a grandiose idea via online entertainment. The Pakistani competitor was seen holding the banners of his nation and India’s. Indeed, even the match moderator couldn’t avoid asking him the purpose of this demonstration.
Making sense of the motion, Shahzaib said, “This battle was for harmony. We are not foes; we are together. There’s really nothing that we can’t do together. This battle is for Pakistan and India’s companionship and being closer.”
“I also like to thank Salman Khan for visiting us. He is my hero. Since I was a young child, I have watched your movies. I’ve enjoyed fighting in front of you. “Thank you,” he continued.
Shahzaib also had the chance to speak with Bollywood star Salman Khan following the game, and the actor couldn’t help but compliment the athlete on his outstanding accomplishments.
Between supporters on both sides of the border, Shahzaib’s performance and his post-match gesture became major discussion points.
