Arshad Nadeem has been bestowed with several honours and rewards after his javelin throw gold at Paris Olympics 2024. From PKR 150 million to gold crowns and civil awards, Nadeem has received immense tribute from his nation.
But none have created as many headlines as the unique gift that his father-in-law had gifted him. Arshad's father-in-law - the father of his wife Ayesha - gifted the star athlete a buffalo.
Now, Nadeem and his wife have joked about the gift, with Nadeem requesting something else instead. "It's just a buffalo, he could've given me five acres of land instead!" joked Nadeem, in an interview to Pakistan-based news channel ARY News, much to the amusement of the interviewer. "But I thought, 'okay, a buffalo is not bad either'", he added.
