How was the slap, bro? Athlete from Pakistan smacks a player from India, then raises the Indian flag and declares, “This fight was for peace, we are not enemies.”

India’s captain Rana Singh was beaten by Pakistani athlete Shahzaib Rindh in the Karate Combat in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), on Saturday.

After India’s Himanshu Kaushik and Pakistan’s Rizwan Ali won their respective first and second matches, the victor was determined in the final round.

After winning the competition, Pakistani athlete Shahzaib Rindh entered the arena and raised the flags of both India and Pakistan as a sign of amity between the two nations.

“Peace was the goal of this battle. “After the match, Rindh stated, ‘We are not enemies, we are together. We are divided by politics.”

I express my gratitude to Salman Khan for his visit. He is my hero. Since I was a little kid, I have watched your movies. I’ve enjoyed fighting in front of you. I’m grateful,” he remarked.

Shahzaib also got the chance to speak with Bollywood star Salman Khan after 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 were major discussion points.

Earlier on Friday during a news conference, Rindh had smacked Rana while standing on stage.

The incident’s footage became popular on social media right after. “How was the slap bro?” Following the altercation, Rindh said during a news conference.
