“‘Himmat nahin chodna, bas!’ [Just don’t lose courage], Hard work. Courage. Patience. What better qualities than those for a father to inspire in a child? For being an inspirational parent, it would be my privilege & honour if Naushad Khan would accept the gift of a Thar" he wrote. He wrapped up his post by resharing a video with the BCCI.
