Pakistan Promo Mocks India Handshake Row
Pakistan recently released a new tourism promo that makes fun of a handshake row with India.
In the promo, an Australian tourist is reminded by a cab driver about forgetting a handshake, which is a joke about India's cricket team not shaking hands with Pakistan's team during the Asia Cup 2025.
The promo is a playful way to bring attention to the ongoing tension between the two countries, but it's also meant to attract tourists to Pakistan.
The handshake issue started when India's captain, Suryakumar Yadav, did not shake hands with Pakistan's captain, Salman Ali Agha, during their matches.
The promo uses this to make a lighthearted comment about the situation.
