Bandipora : A 25-year-old boy Siyam Hyder from the Shadipora area of north Kashmir’s Bandipora, who bends and twists his body in unique ways
is getting fame for his extraordinary talent and flexibility as he rotates his body at 180 degrees, now known as the rubber boy of Kashmir.
The rubber boy has gained massive attention through social media. He started creating content and uploaded it on his social media accounts, his content is loved by everyone and people around him wonder at his flexibility. He has more than 15k followers on Instagram and is known as ‘Popping Sam’ on social media.
Sayim did not go to any sports academy or have a personal coach to help him practice but surprisingly he is completely self-taught, he discovered his passion when he was just 11 years old.
In 2010, he started stretching his body, and it has been twelve years since he is doing it. He has been inspired by just watching videos online. “When i was 11 years old, i came across videos of performers bending and twisting their bodies on the internet and thought that i can also do it and started self learning,” Sayim said.
‘’Dancing is what I could say a passion for me and this passion began in me when I was a kid, I used to watch many videos of famous hip hop dancers on YouTube and then I used to make videos of myself, practising the same. One step leads to the next, and here I am today doing what I always wanted to do, it’s as of living my dream. I carry all the hopes with me that one day I will be on the national platform to express myself,” he said.
Sayim has been showered with various accolades from people that made him work more on his talent. He has received many awards locally and nationally and he dreams of representing himself in the reality television series India’s Got Talent. He is also aspiring to register his name in the Guinness Book of Records- an achievement he is hoping to achieve soon.
