DUBAI: (Web Desk) Indian celebrity Salman Khan, the Tiger of Bollywood, has felicitated Pakistan’s Shahzaib Rindh after he knocked out India’s Rana Singh leading Pakistan to a win over the arch-rival in the Karate Combat 45 held in Dubai.

 Salman was present during the match when Pakistan defeated India in one of the most anticipated clashes of the contest.

During a pre-fight press conference hosted by Karate Combat with a few fighters in attendance, things got particularly heated between the Indian fighter Rana Singh and Pakistani fighter Shahzaib Rindh. Things soon took a turn for the worse. The Indian fighter had abused Rindh and made some extremely obscene remarks about his mother.

Eventually, the situation reached a tipping point when the two men faced off against each other. Rindh and Singh got physical during the faceoffs and had to be separated by security.

After Pakistan’s win over India, the Indian actor and the Pakistani Karate hero had a little chat. Afterwards, Salman joked and said: “Great fight. Do you knock out everywhere in 20, 20 seconds?”

They also shared laughter after which Shahzaib introduced Salman to his brother. Later, they posed for a photo.

On his Instagram account, Shahzaib posted, “@beingsalmankhan it was an honour to fight in-front of you boss watching you since childhood. Love you bhaijan Thank you bro @abdu_rozik you are such a good person@basitrind5.”

The fight was decided in the last round after Pakistan's Rizwan Ali and India's Himanshu Kaushik won the first and second match, respectively.

The event began with Pakistan’s Rizwan Ali taking on India’s Pawan Gupta in the first round. The Pakistani did not have any trouble in taking his opponent down as Gupta was soon lying on the floor after Rizwan knocked him out in the first round.

Pakistan were leading 1-0 before India’s Himanshu Kaushik faced Faizan Khan in the second round. Had Pakistan won that, they would’ve won the match but that didn’t happen as Kaushik managed to overcome Faizan, who came in place of Uloomi Karim after he wasn’t allowed to fight as he missed his weight by five kilos.
