Pakistan’s Olympic gold medalist, Arshad Nadeem, recently received a unique and heartfelt gift from his father in law, Muhammad Nawaz, following his record-breaking victory in the javelin throw at the Paris Olympics, where he achieved an impressive distance of 92.97 meters. In a gesture rooted in tradition and cultural values, Nawaz presented Nadeem with a buffalo, a gift considered highly valuable and honorable in their rural community.
In a viral video, Nadeem humorously reflected on the gift while being interviewed alongside his wife by a Pakistani journalist. When asked about the buffalo, Nadeem playfully remarked, “She (his wife) told me, I said buffalo? He should have given me 5-6 acres of land, but buffalo is also fine. By God’s grace, he is so rich and he gave a buffalo.” The light-hearted comment left both the journalist and viewers amused.
Muhammad Nawaz, who lives in a village with his family, including four sons and three daughters, explained that the buffalo gift was deeply symbolic of their community’s traditions and Nadeem’s strong connection to his rural roots. Despite his international success, Arshad Nadeem continues to reside with his parents and brothers in Khanewal, Punjab.
Nadeem’s wife, Ayesha, is Nawaz’s daughter, and the couple has three children—two sons and a daughter. The gift of the buffalo not only celebrates Nadeem’s sporting achievement but also reinforces the importance of cultural heritage and family values in their lives.
