Rohan Shrestha Becomes The First Indian Photographer To Collaborate With Lionel Messi: My Hands Were Shaking, My Heart Was Pumping Fast

Expert photographer Rohan Shreshtha, who is well-known for his impressive collection of work, is ecstatic right now. Shrestha recently had the opportunity to work with World Football Champion Lionel Messi for a brand shoot. He has previously collaborated with Kareena Kapoor Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, and others. He has joined forces with renowned footballer Messi, who recently captured hearts in the FIFA World Cup 2022. He thus became the first Indian photographer to do so.

Rohan, a huge Messi fan, rushed to social media earlier today and shared photos of the footballer that he had taken. He also included several images and a lengthy, sentimental essay in which he expressed his happiness. He explained more about his ideal team-up by saying: "For those who know me would know I'm a big fan of Lionel Messi since he was 17 & a professional shoot was on the top of my wishlist ever since I picked up the camera professionally 2010. I got the chance in Paris & my dream shoot was just a flight away. After Zinedine Zidane, this was my second shoot with an international Footballer." While he was capturing Messi, he revealed that his hands were shaky and his heart was racing. Additionally, Rohan mentioned that he had the opportunity to speak with him. The 'best moment of 2022 and his professional career', he said. Rohan continued, "My hands were shaking, my heart was pumping fast, and my palms were sweaty while I was doing the shoot but yes I did it. After the shoot, I had the chance to speak with him & his team. Messi was then informed that I was a huge fan and that's when he came up to me and hugged me. This was the best moment of 2022 for me & possibly my professional career. I eventually decided to wait for these pictures to be released as I was convinced that Lionel Messi is going to win the World Cup and I would release it after, and he did." The moment Rohan posted the photos of Messi, his business colleagues were fascinated. Hearts were shared by Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday, Navya Naveli Nanda, Ishaan Khatter, and Shweta Bachchan. Parineeti Chopra wrote, "Love this story! Lots of loveee Ro Ro." Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh attended the FIFA World Cup finals, and Ranveer Singh tweeted, "Living the dream!"
