A young football trickshot artist who hails from 90-feet area of Srinagar shot to fame through his Youtube videos of trickshots couple of years ago. With the tricks he performed, he earned instant fame in Kashmir with social media getting flooded with his video. For his talent, he earned praise from all including former Sports Minister J&K, Moulvi Imran Reza Ansari as well as sports council officials.

Taking his talent further up, last year, Huzaif Shah who is currently pursuing medical study in Bangladesh sent his videos to the CR7 trickshot online challenge that was conducted by Cristiano Ronaldo Fragrances-the official fragrance brand of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. He emerged as fourth runner-up in that global contest.

Seeing his talent and antics, History TV18 is going to feature Huzaif in their new season of OMG India show. The episode that was shot with Huzaif is likely going to be aired on TV next month. The trailer of the new series was recently revealed by the channel. OMG India series feature on unearthing the hidden talent across India at different levels in different genres.

“They saw my video on youtube and were impressed by my tricks. Their representative contacted me and asked to have a shoot with me. They came to Kashmir and interviewed me and had shooting at different locations. It included at my home, Sonamarg, Dal Lake and other locations,” Huzaif said.

“To get featured in OMG is big thing. It is days of hard work, months of patience , a year of struggle  and finally this moment is arriving when I will be featuring on big stage. I would like to thank Allah SWT For this followed by my parents, my friends, family, everyone associated with it. It wouldn’t have been possible without anyone of them,” he said.

About how he stumbled upon the trickshot thing, he said, “It was random target practice and initially I was not even aware that it is called trickshots and the person who does it is called trickshot artist. With time and more practice I started to do new things and started to do them perfectly”.

“I am basically a footballer and started to play football from class 4th and even went on to represent my school Tyndale Biscoe in various competitions at school level. My base of being in love with football did come handy in this art on which I stumbled into by chance,” he said.

The talented artist who claims to be the first trickshots artist from Kashmir said that he wants to revolutionize art in Kashmir and unearth more like him.

“I want to revolutionize Trickshots in Kashmir and hopefully turn into full-time trickshot artist. My aim is to compete with other trickshot artists throughout the World. In the meantime, I would also like to mentor budding Trickshot artists in Kashmir,” he said.
