HEARTWARMING: This Photo From Asian Games Is Winning Hearts In India And Pakistan

"A picture is worth a thousand words" What better way to narrate a story than through a picture! A photograph, taken during the ongoing Asian Games in Indonesia is doing exactly the same.

Indian star Neeraj Chopra's gold in javelin throw was historic. While the nation was celebrating the historic win, internet users were equally impressed with a picture from the medal ceremony. A viral image of Neeraj shaking hands with Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, who won a bronze medal in the same event. While sights like these are common, it became a big deal, given the nature of relationship between the two countries.

Tennis star Sania Mirza shared the image on Twitter, congratulating Neeraj on the win. She went on to say that 'sport is the best education you can provide your child with'. 

Touched by the gesture, people on both sides of the border decided to commend the two athletes.

Pakistan pacer Hassan Ali also took to the microblogging platform to laud the gesture by the two athletes.
