In the video, Abid says that the biggest curse for a poor person is poverty and a bigger curse than that is that he is a sports lover. Being a sports person, I achieved many achievements and also did a diploma. However, he is still unemployed. Wherever he went for an interview he was rejected. Abid says that only the poor or middle-class people come in a sport like boxing because it includes a lot of fighting. High class and rich people play sports like cricket, lawn tennis, badminton.
