When someone travels to a foreign land, there is always a sense of unease. But, this feeling soon turns into a delightful experience when the visitor gets a warm welcome. This is what happened to an Indian family who visited Pakistan for their daughter's tennis match and were greeted by a local resident after they asked him for a lift. A video capturing the heartwarming incident has now gone viral.
The video, uploaded on Twitter, opens with a Pakistan national named Tahir Khan who gave a lift to a family from Hyderabad. Tahir shared that the family was on their way to attend an international tennis tournament in Islamabad. On knowing that the people belonged to India, he insisted that they come to his office and have a meal with him. In the clip, we see the family feasting on some Hyderabadi biryani with Tahir and sharing their pleasant experiences in the neighbouring country.

“I want my Indian friends and followers to watch this video. An Indian family who're visiting Pakistan for his daughter's tennis match in Islamabad. They met a good friend of mine Tahir Khan and asked for a lift. They've shared their experience in the video. This is Pakistan in real,” the text attached to the video read. In the video, the host is also see joking, "Aap Virat Kohli humein de do, aap trophy lekar jayein (Give us Virat Kohli, you may take the trophy)." India and Pakistan are competing in the T20 World Cup tournament for the top prize and Mr Kohli has put up a stunning show in the series.

In the next clip, the girl, who had her tennis match, highlighted that she did not expect such a heartwarming welcome and loved the hospitality of the people of Pakistan.

The clips garnered numerous views on Twitter and prompted heartwarming reactions from users.

“I can vouch for this the same hospitality given to my uncle when he went to Lahore in 2018 ...no shopkeeper charged him once he said he is from India... Friendship will always continue... cricket banter will also.LOL,” a person wrote.

Another said, “Have seen numerous vlogs on YouTube...And every one of them praised the hospitality of Pakistan people... they are great hosts...due to the mix of Arab and subcontinental values”.

“And one thing I tell you is that people on both sides are always good. It is the politics that keep people at bay,” a comment read.

So, what do you have to say about it?

They look like South Indians (Tamil or Telugu people). South Indians are usually more chill, and more open minded than people from the north. They are also more educated. Sadly they are discriminated against by the North Indians due to their darker skin. I think if Pakistani people become more receptive towards South Indian language/culture/people, they could find themselves a good ally from among a section of Indian population.
 
Why are Pakistanis obsessed with improving their image amongst Indians and foreigners?

Why worry about what they think about the country and its people?

If the roles were reversed and a Pakistani family was invited over by an Indian, the Indian wouldn’t be asking them about how they feel about India and Indian people now and if their perception has changed etc.

This was cringey to watch.

It's what has got Pakistani people the reputation of big hearts. I've been surprised by the times I've heard foreign vloggers who use this term, I thought it was just an Afridi-ism, but it's becoming common place now.

I haven't watched this video, but I like that Pakistani people are friendly to outsiders considering their reputation would seem the opposite.

If the roles were reversed then most likely indians especially andhbhakhts would have called them traitors and asked them to move to Pakistan. They wouldn't be able to ask anything from Pakistanis after that anyway. :inti

Thats sad to hear but there are many Indians like yourself who do not hold hatred in their hearts against Pakistanis.

This is a lovely story, you can see the family were a little nervous being in Pakistan but seem very happy & grateful.

Thanks for sharing & please update this thread , would love know how the girls got on in their competition. Best of luck to them!

This is true. Let's up vote and promote positive stories like this. There is too much content online with people arguing and fighting, and spreading hatred. It is good to promote such uplifting incidents.
 
No need to be over friendly to Indian's at all. Just be normal.
