07:41Thank you very much.
07:43Thank you very much.
07:45Thank you very much.
07:47Thank you very much.
07:53Thank you very much.
07:59This was very fascinating.
08:01What was the idea of my mother?
08:03One day you told me that I want to be a shooter.
08:07Or my family told me that this is such a good sport. Why don't you try that?
08:11What was the first conversation? Who convinced me about shooting?
08:15Basically, it was my mother's big help.
08:19They motivated me and told me that there is a shooting club,
08:25I was almost 14 years old.
08:31At that time, I had no idea that this is a real sport.
08:35It was an Olympic level sport.
08:37They motivated me and started here.
08:41Very interesting story.
08:43In the studio, there is also summer, there is a lot of nature.
08:47This is also a very interesting thing.
08:49Because cycling is the first place in Pakistan.
08:53The people who don't have a lot of cycling.
08:55You said, no, I won't just cycling in the tracks.
08:57I will go to the mountains.
08:59I will go to the mountains.
09:01I will go to the mountains.
09:03Were you mad?
09:05First, thanks for having me.
09:09Thanks for having me.
09:11My first experience was in 2016.
09:15To go inside the hardcore mountains.
09:17For 15 days, I lived in the refrigerator.
09:21We lived in the glacier.
09:23We lived in the glacier.
09:25It was extremely cold.
09:29I was cycling there.
09:31It was an amazing experience to bike on Vyafo Glacier.
09:37It was 67 km long glacier.
09:39Very beautiful landscape.
09:41Extremely beautiful.
09:43It was very under-projected.
09:45At that time, I didn't even go to social media.
09:47So, that was my attempt.
09:49I came out very injured and tired and exhausted.
09:51It was very small.
09:53There were landsliding.
09:55We were jumping on the carvasses.
09:57It was a very challenging environment.
09:59I came the first one doing that.
10:01Mountain biking.
10:03The news was widely celebrated.
10:05It was something very new for a Pakistani community.
10:07And then, you started your journey from there.
10:09Yes, my journey started.
10:11And now, where do you go?
10:13Do you have any other mark?
10:15Do you have a bucket list?
10:17Where do you go?
10:19Where do you go?
10:21Because my journey is also added to snowboarding.
10:25I mean, I don't have enough cycling.
10:27I'll add a little snowboarding.
10:29Because my training, when I selected internationally,
10:31especially under ESPNW,
10:33they sent me towards Burton Snowboards,
10:35which is a very big snowboarding company.
10:37So, they trained me in every area.
10:39Branding, marketing, business partnerships,
10:43organizations running in sports.
10:45So, when I came back then,
10:47I set up my own organization,
10:49Sports Summer Camps.
10:51And also, for kids cycling.
10:53I started 2-3 years ago,
10:55I learned snowboarding.
10:57Then, I included those in my camps.
10:59Now, I teach mountain biking and snowboarding.
11:01It's a very interesting thing.
11:03It's a very interesting thing.
11:04You guys are watching videos on YouTube,
11:05TikTok,
11:07and if you use skill requiring,
11:09then Summer has done it.
11:11Now, for football,
11:13there's no problem in Pakistan.
11:15I mean, we have amazing people,
11:17who are very talented,
11:19who want to play.
11:21So, when you talk about football,
11:23there's no sport in Pakistan.
11:25So, football, how did you play football?
11:27How did you play football in Pakistan?
11:29How did your journey start?
11:31Well, first of all,
11:33thank you for having me on the show.
11:35And, you know,
11:37to you and every person who is watching us.
11:39Basically, football,
11:41my passion initially came in the genes.
11:45My paternal grandfather,
11:47he used to play football for the British Army.
11:49Then, my father and my uncles,
11:51they went to Islamabad a little bit
11:53at the regional level, provincial level.
11:55They established clubs.
11:57So, I think,
11:58that all of them came into me.
12:01And now, my brother also plays football.
12:03He's very good at it.
12:05So, football,
12:07actually,
12:09in primary, usually, I was not very good with studies.
12:11I was not very good with studies.
12:13I was not completely different.
12:15And, every time I used to play sports,
12:17because I used to play sports in school,
12:19so, I used to play medals,
12:21trophies,
12:22and to bring classes to me.
12:23Basically, that was –
12:24Very good things,
12:25what kids are telling me,
12:26that,
12:27studying and studying and studying.
12:28I will do it.
12:29I will do it.
12:30I will do it.
12:31Because,
12:32I am from the University of London,
12:33from the University of London,
12:34LLB, LLM,
12:35Lawyer, Qualified,
12:36Development International Lawyer as well.
12:37So, basically,
12:38because my parents told me that I didn't want to do anything
12:42I had to do a matric too
12:44My mom had a famous statement
12:46She told me that I had a matric too
12:49If I had a matric too
12:51She's done
12:53I came to sports
12:55In 2009, my parents took me there
12:59My mom heard me in football
13:01My mom had a colleague
13:03We went there
13:05Unfortunately
13:07I didn't have a plan
13:09I was like, I'll go home
13:11I'll go home
13:13I got selected
13:152-3 months of summer training
13:17Then there was a national level tournament
13:19Provincial level tournament
13:20I got selected
13:21I played for the Samar team
13:23I don't know how
13:25But 4-5 months
13:27I got a camp
13:29They were calling all the other girls
13:31100 plus from all over Pakistan
13:33So I got a call
13:35That you also got selected
13:37So I was crying
13:38Like you know
13:3912-13 years old
13:40And she told me
13:41That I had to stay in the hostel
13:431-3 months
13:44So my parents were the main driving force
13:46They pushed me
13:47That there was no problem
13:48They would go to school
13:49And you know
13:50This is once in a lifetime moment
13:51Now we are going to break
13:52And we will go back
13:53And we will go back
13:54And there are many questions
13:55Challenges
13:56Opportunities
13:57How can we get inspired
13:59How can we get inspired
14:00How can we get into the field
14:01That we can get into the field
14:02Break a bounce
14:03How can we get into the field
14:04Welcome back
14:06It is the day
14:07And we have
14:084 very good
14:09Those who have experienced
14:10Their fields
14:11They are doing
14:13They are doing
14:14And the new way
14:15That there are many
14:16Things that can be done
14:18And they can do
14:19Do it
14:20We also ask from Minel to this segment, so Minel, how did you get this awareness to Minel?
14:27Because 15, 16, 17 in this age, children are exploring their lives.
14:32They have so many hobbies, so many distractions.
14:35This is to say that no, I have to be specifically a pilot.
14:39I have to do this training, I have to manage the study.
14:43Did it happen overnight? What was that moment of realization?
14:47When you say that this is what I want to do, I have to do it.
14:51I have to do it in this way.
14:53Absolutely. I think, you know, especially between these 13 and 16 ages is when
15:00our teenagers, I would say, angsts are at the top.
15:04So there are a lot of mistakes we made too and we say regret is the greatest teacher.
15:08So like any other teenager, any other child even listening to me right now,
15:13I have to do it in this way.
15:15And because of that, it got me the realization that, okay, no, you need to be serious about life.
15:19Because, you know, when will it happen?
15:21And with that, my mom is a single parent.
15:24So I know that I want to give her a life that she deserves as soon as possible.
15:28Because she has done way more than I could have ever thought.
15:31So that's why I decided not to go to college.
15:34I also left school.
15:35I was like, I'll give it privately.
15:36Because, unfortunately, Pakistan, my education system is also messed up.
15:39You know, we're paying colleges over here to literally go party.
15:42So I was like, it's better.
15:44I'll study at home.
15:45I'll call a teacher at home.
15:46I'll call a teacher at home.
15:47So that's how I kind of excelled all of this and made sure that my career starts as early as possible.
15:56Yeah.
15:57So when you thought about flying about flying, you have told you about what to do with your mother.
16:02How was that conversation?
16:03And did you agree with that?
16:05So actually, this is a little bit of a scene.
16:10Because my mom, since day one, she's given me this independence.
16:13So even when I went to my first flying school, I got admission.
16:17I was alone when I was 15.
16:19And you know, my mom's just like, show me that you can do it.
16:23That's obviously with getting the appropriate grades.
16:26So I went to flying school.
16:28I made my medical, I had forms where I came back.
16:30I'm like, mama, this is the bill.
16:32You can give me this money.
16:33I'll transfer this account.
16:34And then from that day to the day that I completed my license, that's all my mom knows.
16:39I came home with my license.
16:40A year later, I'm like, mama, I've got my license.
16:42And she was like, okay, good.
16:43You did your duty.
16:45So it's scary to parents that we're sending our daughter on the plane,
16:48and we're so small.
16:49People are scared of giving the car.
16:51So we can get people to get the kids to get the kids.
16:54We can get them to get them to get them to get them to get them.
16:56So I've always had a very risky personality in my childhood.
17:01So I've always had a very risky personality in my childhood.
17:03So in that consideration when I chose my career,
17:05I was like, I'm going to be serious about that.
17:07So she was kind of relaxed about that.
17:10Okay, that's a funny story.
17:14She said, let's go.
17:15That's the least risky thing she's doing.
17:17You had so dangerous set in your first time.
17:21And she said, no, no, no.
17:23This is a good thing.
17:24Today, in my show,
17:25there are so many people in my life
17:27that I have a great learning experience for myself.
17:32So, let's talk about it.
17:34And talk about the rest of your family.
17:36Kashmala, shooting,
17:38shooting,
17:40shooting,
17:42shooting,
17:44shooting,
17:46shooting,
17:48shooting,
17:50shooting,
17:52arena.
17:54But as a proper career,
17:58or sport,
18:00it's a different thing.
18:02So, what was the journey?
18:04What was the training?
18:06What was the training?
18:08What was the training?
18:10What was the training?
18:12Basically,
18:13in Pakistan,
18:14shooting,
18:15we are associated with the 9mms,
18:16long range,
18:17and snipers.
18:18So, we think it's very different.
18:20But when we talk about Olympic sports,
18:22it's a different discipline.
18:24Weapons and guns are different.
18:26Weapons and guns are different.
18:27So,
18:28first,
18:29it was so excited.
18:30It was so exciting.
18:32I felt that there was no fear.
18:34And I will give this thing to my mother.
18:36I will give this thing to my mother.
18:38That she never taught me
18:39and never told me
18:41that this is impossible for you.
18:43So,
18:44it was a barrier breaking
18:47that started from my home.
18:49My mother always motivated me
18:52that you are capable,
18:54this brain is limitless.
18:56That you will get what you think,
18:58and what you think,
18:59that you will get what you think.
19:00So,
19:01that's the thing.
19:02I started with excitement
19:04and as a hobby.
19:06So,
19:07I think,
19:08the first thing
19:09that I was with was
19:11that,
19:12I was small
19:13and I had to choose with pistol and rifle.
19:15And I see,
19:17I saw the rifle and I said,
19:19I can't do it.
19:20It's too heavy for me.
19:22And I chose pistol.
19:24Usually,
19:25when we are small,
19:26we have to choose
19:27which flavor of ice cream.
19:29So,
19:30your choices are very different
19:31from what choices
19:32an average person makes.
19:34So,
19:35you chose pistol.
19:36So,
19:37I chose pistol.
19:38I chose pistol.
19:39Yes,
19:40I chose pistol.
19:41I thought
19:42that if I chose rifle,
19:43it might be different
19:44than the journey.
19:45So,
19:46I still did not stand.
19:47But,
19:48Alhamdulillah,
19:49that
19:50I chose any one
19:52that it was the benefit
19:53of Pakistan.
19:54That is a proud moment.
19:55And,
19:56that I think,
19:57that
20:00the pistol
20:02The shooting is very different from the normal shooting.
20:09But how do you manage this with the study?
20:12Because many parents say that don't let our children study.
20:16The study is also a high priority for parents.
20:20Yes, if I talk about the study,
20:24I have managed this with the shooting.
20:30I have done BS in Mass Communication.
20:33Recently I graduated.
20:35It was very difficult for me to take the study and the shooting.
20:40Because you have a professional life.
20:44You have professional skills.
20:45You have to choose your degree.
20:48But I think that my parents were very supportive.
20:55My siblings were very supportive.
20:57I have divided the responsibilities.
21:01I have given the time to shoot.
21:03Asamar, you had a family support.
21:06Because you have to take a cycle.
21:08You have to take a cycle.
21:10But go to the mountains,
21:12and go to the glaciers,
21:14and go to the mountains,
21:16your father's heart will be a little bit.
21:18Think about it.
21:20So my home environment was very different.
21:22Because it was a Pashtun household.
21:24And Abu was not.
21:25I am single parent.
21:26So they had a lot of pressure and fear.
21:28That someone will be kidnapped.
21:30Something will happen.
21:31Maybe they will die.
21:32Maybe they will die.
21:33What will they say to the village?
21:34Accident.
21:35What will they say to the village?
21:37And first of all,
21:38the whole life cycle is going on.
21:40How do you earn money from the cycle?
21:42Is it a job?
21:43Now this is the answer to me.
21:45I don't know how to earn money from the cycle.
21:47And how to earn money from the cycle.
21:49Initially, you have only a spark and passion.
21:52It's an unseen world.
21:54When you go forward,
21:56you have to grow and practice.
21:58It opens.
21:59You connect with the right people.
22:01You reach the right platforms.
22:03You get the right training centers.
22:04You get the right coaches.
22:06In Pakistan,
22:08if you talk about adventure sports,
22:11there are also platforms,
22:13indoor facilities,
22:14gyms,
22:15sports complexes.
22:16There is a existence.
22:17When I came in the beginning,
22:18even sports officials said
22:20that it's only going on.
22:22I realized that it's all professional sports.
22:24It's all professional sports.
22:26It's all professional events.
22:28So I learned everything along the way.
22:30And when my family has seen
22:32that it's all sponsors and awards.
22:34So she must be doing something very positive.
22:36And then she is training other girls as well.
22:38Because the mindset of sports
22:40is not in our community.
22:42We don't see it.
22:44We don't see it.
22:46We don't see it.
22:48We don't see it.
22:49We don't see it.
22:50We don't see it.
22:51We see it in banking,
22:52engineering, medical,
22:53and all.
22:54It's a job.
22:55Now I say that I'm going to snowboarding
22:57or cycling.
22:59So they say that.
23:00It's a shock.
23:01It's a shock.
23:02What do you do?
23:03So they understand it's a job.
23:05Even though it's project based,
23:07we don't have monthly income.
23:09But we still generate enough
23:11to sustain our sports
23:12and support our families.
23:13So what do you say to the village?
23:15What do you say to the village?
23:16What do you say to the village?
23:17First of all,
23:18we said that
23:19she is bringing shame to the family.
23:24We don't own it.
23:26We are hiding it.
23:27We are hiding it.
23:28We don't know it.
23:29We are hiding it.
23:30We don't know it.
23:31And now we say that
23:32she was on TV.
23:33She is my sister.
23:34Summer is my cousin.
23:35So I go to the village
23:36and the village of the village
23:37and the village of the village
23:38to meet them.
23:39I believe
23:40there is so much progress
23:41and growth.
23:42Like I hear the sound of my mind.
23:44I hear the sound of my mind.
23:45You hear the sound of my mind
23:46and hear the sound of your children.
23:47So it's a big journey.
23:48You have to be at home.
23:49It's not a nice pleasure.
23:50You have to make the environment for them.
23:51And so I want to make that environment.
23:52It's not just the best of the family.
23:55You also have made your own environment.
23:58There are many girls who I'm seeing.
24:01That's why I also have to get to meet with the girls and hear their stories.
24:05Perhaps you have to relate to someone else's story.
24:08Abhiyah, you have to play football.
24:11You had a good mood, support, you had to play football.
24:17So you won't have such a big challenge.
24:19I think what someone just said,
24:21Like my child, I was 7 years old.
24:237 years old?
24:25Masha Allah, he's 22 now.
24:27But when I was going to training,
24:29he was 4 or 5,
24:31so regularly he would go to training.
24:33So what summer just said,
24:35first family is supportive.
24:37But the major challenge
24:39is your extended family
24:41and your community.
24:43Back then,
24:45when my parents started talking
24:47or they started to know
24:49that they started to play football
24:51in the sports complex.
24:53So there are typical lines
24:55that there is a game of men,
24:57and the child is wrong,
24:59and the name of the family
25:01and she brings shame to the family.
25:03And you live in Islamabad?
25:05I live in Islamabad.
25:07I live in Islamabad
25:09and all my extended family
25:11are very much
25:13local people.
25:15But still,
25:17it was stereotypical.
25:19My parents did not let me go
25:21through that zone.
25:23You don't take any effect.
25:25We have a trust.
25:27Just think about it.
25:29We are together.
25:31But never regret it.
25:33This was one thing that my father did.
25:35Just one thing.
25:37We never regret it.
25:39It's all your game.
25:41It was the first tournament.
25:43I remember my first interview
25:45from the South Asian Games.
25:47It was on national television.
25:49It was a prime time.
25:51One hour interview.
25:53And after that,
25:55many calls started coming.
25:57They started coming.
25:59They started coming.
26:01And the next day,
26:03we have to take our children.
26:05and all that.
26:07But then, the major challenges
26:09that I had also brought up
26:11is that,
26:13I need to convert them into my supporters.
26:15And now,
26:17they are such supporters
26:19that,
26:21they are our cousins,
26:23and our...
26:24So, these people say,
26:25they are our two houses.
26:26Definitely.
26:27Definitely.
26:28I have a lot of discipline.
26:29You have a whole personality.
26:31I have a whole personality.
26:32I am a human being.
26:33I have a whole family.
26:35I used to shiver.
26:36I can't even go.
26:38And now,
26:39after I started my own
26:40transformation.
26:41Because,
26:42when I started,
26:43there was no role model.
26:44In football.
26:45So,
26:46when we convinced parents
26:47that women accomplished role models
26:49And they wanted to actually learn
26:51that she can do not have to excel.
26:52She can do not have to excel in society.
26:53In sports journeys.
26:54In such areas.
26:55I have also a lot of passion for law.
26:58Since,
26:59The 6th.
27:00So,
27:01I have done an online laying on law.
27:02So I have been focused on law.
27:03All those who have done.
27:04Then,
27:05I have been focused on the LLC.
27:06I am a University of London graduate.
27:08Excellent.
27:09Now,
27:10I have been studying law.
27:11And,
27:12I am a law firm.
27:13I am a conciliar of a law firm.
27:14I have been studying law firm.
27:15Now,
27:16I am studying law firm.
27:17I am a part of a law firm.
27:18Welcome back.
27:45Welcome back.
28:15Welcome back.
28:17Welcome back.
28:19Welcome back.
28:21Welcome back.
28:23Welcome back.
28:25Welcome back.
28:27Welcome back.
28:29Welcome back.
28:31Welcome back.
28:33Welcome back.
28:35Welcome back.
28:37Welcome back.
28:39Welcome back.
28:41Welcome back.
28:43Welcome back.
28:45Welcome back.
28:47Welcome back.
28:49Welcome back.
28:51Welcome back.
28:53Welcome back.
28:55Welcome back.
28:57Welcome back.
28:59Welcome back.
29:01Welcome back.
29:03Welcome back.
29:05Welcome back.
29:07Welcome back.
29:08Welcome back.
29:09Welcome back.
29:10Welcome back.
29:11Welcome back.
29:12Welcome back.
29:13Welcome back.
29:14Welcome back.
29:15Welcome back.
29:16Welcome back.
29:17Welcome back.
29:18Welcome back.
29:19Welcome back.
29:20Welcome back.
29:21Welcome back.
29:22Welcome back.
29:23Welcome back.
29:24Welcome back.
29:25Welcome back.
29:26Welcome back.
29:27Welcome back.
29:28Welcome back.
29:29Welcome back.
29:31When I came back.
29:32that if you are meritorious then try to get an ad or some airline in which you have two
29:37merit seats but if you are confident in yourself you know you are going to get that.
29:42So your career automatically should be able to earn a decent amount.
29:47So that's an initial investment with a really good return at the end of the day.
29:51And this is why there are two or three great qualities that need to be in a pilot because
29:55we need to tell people to be realistic that one is a good and a good capacity.
30:01So like any career, I think the biggest ability is to work towards that, just saying it won't
30:10be enough.
30:11Then the next thing is again like any other career you need to know how to play your politics.
30:16You need to be politically correct and you need to be politically smart because in every career
30:22there is politics.
30:23If you don't know how to play your politics correctly you will be stepped over and it will become
30:27very hard.
30:29And the third thing, specifically I would say I would say I would say I would say I would
30:36say I would say a bad image is made of aviation.
30:38So a lot of people are like you know it's not safe, it's very bad and everything.
30:44It did scare me at first but again I believe that it's a human being in your hands.
30:48So you need to know to draw your boundaries.
30:51If you have these three qualities in you, no one can stop you in any career whether you're
30:54a girl, whether you're a boy, you want to do flying, you want to go in any field.
30:58You know.
30:59Yeah.
31:00Very interesting.
31:01You know.
31:02Yeah.
31:03Yeah.
31:04Yeah.
31:05Yeah.
31:06Yeah.
31:07Yeah.
31:08Yeah.
31:09Yeah.
31:10Yeah.
31:11Yeah.
31:12Yeah.
31:13Yeah.
31:14Yeah.
31:15Yeah.
31:16Great.
31:17Yeah.
31:18Yeah.
31:19Yeah.
31:20Duke , it's been a harder and easy.
31:22So how can they go to this field? How can they talk to their parents? How can they convince them?
31:32Is this a very dangerous shock? Is this a very dangerous career?
31:39Shooting is a very dangerous career. If you talk about weapons or a normal pistol, it costs around 3-4 lakhs.
31:53And besides, the amount of gold you put in, the amount of gold you put in, the amount of gold you put in, the amount of gold you put in.
32:01Basically, I want to try to join with the clubs.
32:09If you join with the clubs, it's better.
32:13In JLM, there's a big unit. There's an army marksmanship unit in Karachi.
32:17In Karachi, there are a lot of ranges and clubs.
32:20In Lahore, there are a lot of clubs in Lahore.
32:22In Islamabad, there are a lot of clubs in Lahore.
32:24And there are a lot of clubs in Islamabad.
32:26There are a lot of clubs in Paris Olympics.
32:29After that, there are a lot of clubs in the shooting.
32:31I have seen that in Lahore, there are universities in Lahore.
32:37There are their shooting events.
32:39And HSEC teams are prepared.
32:42And in other words, the national teams have also been prepared.
32:47So, basically, I think that my main goal was that it's not just me.
32:55That I will achieve something and that I will use it in my own benefit.
33:02It's basically that it's more about Pakistan.
33:05How do you serve Pakistan and how do you serve Pakistan?
33:08How do you serve Pakistan and how do you inspire Pakistan?
33:11How do you inspire Pakistan to do that?
33:13That you can create a career as a career.
33:16Although, career as a career is not so quickly,
33:20And in Pakistan, you can't carry a career as a career.
33:24But I think so that in the next 10 years, we will be seeing this as well.
33:29That the girls will take a career as a career as a career as a career.
33:35And I think that we need a lot of support from the government.
33:39So that these things can be easy for the girls.
33:43So that you are talking about the government support.
33:45You are talking about cycling expeditions.
33:47You are talking about what you're doing with the sponsor.
33:50Do you get help from the government level?
33:55And because you are going to other countries,
33:58So you will also track the other sportsmen.
34:00And what is the difference between Pakistan and government facilities,
34:04Support, and money?
34:06Yes, you are playing sports.
34:08You can play conventional, adventure,
34:09Every sport is like a sport.
34:10Yes, yes.
34:11You have to travel every sport.
34:12You need to travel.
34:13You need to travel.
34:14You need to do your tickets.
34:15You need to do your equipment.
34:16You need to do your nutrition.
34:17You need to do your training.
34:18You need money.
34:19Now our government and our country
34:21Has a basic infrastructure,
34:23or a system that has been used,
34:25has not been made for monthly salaries.
34:26So these things,
34:28And when we go to other countries,
34:30They have history and legends.
34:32They are legends, they are set of all their sets, from college level, from provincial level, from international level.
34:40That's why they are leading.
34:42Our basic set is not.
34:44And you know that there are many sports like Pakistan,
34:48that there are no existence of any Pakistani.
34:51We don't know the sports categories of sports.
34:54And if someone comes to this time, she'll be the pioneer of that sport.
34:58But you have to educate yourself.
35:00You have to build a community on social media.
35:03You need to know what people need to know.
35:05You say that.
35:06The difference is that in today's time, athletes know people.
35:11The credit goes to social media.
35:13Before us, all of the Olympians ended up in petty jobs.
35:16Because they didn't have a voice.
35:19So because of this voice, we are able to secure private sponsorships, brand endorsements, partnerships.
35:26Because in the beginning of the year, I want to tell you,
35:30I often have messages on Instagram and Facebook,
35:32that we need sponsors, we have started this, this, this.
35:35So I started getting sponsors for 6-7 years later.
35:38Before you are putting your own money?
35:41I did small projects, training, multiple jobs, private,
35:46and I was doing a lot of work in the year.
35:48So you have to know yourself, you have to show your capabilities.
35:52You have to know your capabilities that I am capable.
35:54I have achieved everything that I have achieved.
35:56I can put money on it.
35:58Okay.
35:59But first, you have invested in 6-7 years,
36:01and then people have invested in you.
36:03More or less.
36:04In football, it is the same way.
36:06It is the same way.
36:07But it is the same way.
36:08It is the same way.
36:09Because in cycling, I will use a lot of risk.
36:11I will use a sport in Pakistan.
36:13I will say that it is an individual.
36:15Football is a team game.
36:16Yes, yes.
36:17It is a team game.
36:18It is a team game.
36:19It is a team game.
36:20It is also known as associations or federations.
36:21It is also known as associations.
36:23For example, Samwad Association,
36:25they are the ones to take care of your tickets,
36:28uniform, travelling and all that.
36:30But basically, it is a sub-level work.
36:34If we are in a hostel,
36:36we have food that is very, very sub-level.
36:38For Pakistan national team,
36:40it was popular that Samwad,
36:42when it was camped,
36:43the food came from my home.
36:44The majority, almost half of the team,
36:46the food came from my home.
36:47The food came from my home.
36:48Because the food came from a sub-level.
36:49The food came from the house itself
36:51and the food came from the house itself.
36:52So, it is not enough to create a team.
36:54It is not enough, right?
36:55And then, monthly,
36:56when we leave our education,
36:59or after we leave our jobs,
37:01we leave everything
37:03so we need to earn for our own self as well.
37:07Now, after 12-13 years of age,
37:09I did not earn for my parents.
37:12The day I stepped into football,
37:16I did not take money,
37:18I took a penny from my parents.
37:20So, now,
37:21education,
37:22I have studied sports scholarship.
37:24Thankfully,
37:25there was such a profile build-up.
37:26But,
37:27the issue is,
37:28that government is not our role models.
37:30You know,
37:31you have visited a sports event,
37:33and you also have British players.
37:35In their countries,
37:36you know,
37:37this is England.
37:38Tell me,
37:39what did you tell me?
37:40FIFA,
37:41in 2017,
37:42Guinness World Record events,
37:43in France,
37:44on the outset of the World Cup.
37:46So,
37:47Pakistan,
37:48I was nominated,
37:49they called me,
37:50everything was FIFA sponsored.
37:51Now,
37:52we went there,
37:53we played a great football match,
37:5570 hours,
37:56a history.
37:57We played another match,
37:58the world's first football match,
38:00which was 65 nationalities of the country,
38:02and they played a history.
38:04That was a history.
38:05Pakistan,
38:06it was my name.
38:07Now,
38:08the thing is,
38:09when I came back,
38:10now,
38:11there were England,
38:12women,
38:13US,
38:14Australia,
38:15when they went to their country,
38:17their prime ministers,
38:18their government,
38:19had a massive reception.
38:20Theresa May,
38:21UK players,
38:22had a massive reception
38:24in the parliament house.
38:25Because,
38:26the Guinness World Record
38:27is a very big thing.
38:28In Pakistan,
38:29there is a thing,
38:30that we don't have role models.
38:34Who knows,
38:36that we have a Guinness World Record holders.
38:38I don't know.
38:39I have a very calm moment.
38:40I have one more question.
38:41I am a Pakistan-
38:43one of the athletes who hosted the White House.
38:46Back in 2011,
38:47I was 14.
38:48At that time,
38:50Secretary of State,
38:51Ms. Hillary Clinton,
38:52called me on the sports development program.
38:54And I was hosted in White House.
38:56It's a very big deal.
38:58But,
38:59there are no role models.
39:00And,
39:01if we have a lot of achievements,
39:02after 5-10 years,
39:03like our previous legends,
39:04we will die behind the curtains.
39:07Why are we struggling so much
39:09for the youth of Pakistan?
39:10So,
39:11fuck it,
39:12boh!
