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,

00:23has 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
