Lila has met celebrities and public figures all over the world, but he never happened to take a selfie with them. This time it was different. He took a selfie with Shaq and also had a conversation with the NBA legend.
While Lila finished a tough call, he noticed Shaq in the hotel lobby. The journalist revealed that he found it tough to approach Shaq and that it was tougher than interviewing Imran Khan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
After a few failed attempts at taking a selfie, Muhammad Lila asked Shaq a very important question. He asked for some parenting advice when Shaq said, “That’s your job. You’re the dad. That’s what I had for me.” That is some pretty great advice coming from one of the biggest names in the world of sports.
