In an interview with journalist Hamid Mir, Arshad Nadeem and his mother expressed the joy they are feeling after his victory. Arshad also discussed his plans, having received significant rewards, including 10 crore rupees from the Government of Punjab and 15 crore rupees from the Federal Government.
He shared that “he does not get to go to his home a lot due to training but he mostly loves to spend time in his village when he is free.
