00:00I swear, last night they were eating burgers, last night they were eating pizzas.
00:08Oh man, hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me.
00:12No, this is a joke, one second, this is a joke.
00:15Young man, Shaheen, today in Pakistan's victory,
00:18with a lot of enthusiasm, he is supporting his team.
00:20This passion, this passion, this love,
00:23has won Pakistan in this stadium and in the whole world.
00:30Oooohh, Ooooooh, Ooooooh, Ooooooh.
00:45Shaheen, today in Pakistan's victory,
00:47with a lot of enthusiasm he is supporting his team.
00:49This passion, this passion, this love,
00:52Will this love make Pakistan win in this stadium or in the whole world?
00:56Yes!
01:02I used to predict Pakistan winning
01:04I used to predict it
01:12Last year December I came to Pakistan for my winter break
01:14and I was offered a film
01:16and I thought I'll do it for the experience
01:18but the shoot of the movie got disrupted due to COVID-19
01:21obviously
01:23and I got stuck here in Pakistan
01:25and then I was offered this drama
01:27so I'm shooting for that
01:47After graduating from King's College London
01:49I got a job in King's College London
01:51I started working for the Principal's office
01:53and if I may take the liberty
01:55I partially identify myself as an aspiring educationalist
01:57I've been involved in student politics
01:59social work, I co-founded a charity
02:01I've delivered tech talks in different universities
02:03I've also partied a lot
02:05I'm working on a tech startup also
02:15I was just surprised that so many people
02:17were connected with what I expressed
02:19and I think that is how majority of the people
02:21in my country were feeling
02:23I think everyone was in a similar state
02:25emotional state
02:27they couldn't express it
02:29and I did it for them
02:31yeah
02:33My excitement levels for the match
02:35were going through the roof
02:37I mean during the World Cup last year
02:39I was in London and I went to Manchester
02:41because I did not want to miss witnessing
02:43a potential historic victory
02:45The buzzing atmosphere of the stadium
02:47I was positive, a lot of expectations
02:49a lot of excitement which I cannot put into words
02:51but the match
02:53obviously shattered my optimism
02:55I came out disappointed
02:57I just wanted to go back home
02:59but the reporters outside
03:01wanted to know how we were feeling
03:03as people who travelled all the way from London
03:05to support our teams
03:07I said what I truly felt
03:09I told you I'm an expressive person
03:11so my emotions did the talking
03:13I think it was constructive criticism
03:15on the way they played
03:17and obviously hoping for them to improve in the future
03:19I thought we could still win the World Cup
03:21but at that specific moment when we lost to India
03:23I was shattered
03:29I started getting a lot of love
03:31from across the world
03:33especially India
03:35many people from across the border
03:37became part of my online family
03:39I already had many Indian friends
03:41whom I had worked with
03:43in King's College
03:45on different initiatives
03:47to promote peace between India and Pakistan
03:57How on earth
03:59can I recreate the same reaction
04:01it was candid, you'll have to wait
04:03till the next World Cup to see another reaction
04:05a better one
04:11Thank you for watching
