Pakistani teen Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai cried after seeing her bloodstained uniform, which she wore the day she got shot by the Taliban. Fellow Nobel awardee Kailash Satyarthi from India consoled her, calling her brave.

Her uniform is a blue tunic with a white scarf and white trousers and the dried up bloodstain is still visible. It is also currently up at an exhibition dedicated to Malala who is an advocate of education along with Kailash Satyarthi. The two also were inaugurated in Oslo, Norway.

As she was perusing the event on December 12, the images of her uniform covered in blood and were hanging on a glass case, made the Nobel laureate shed tears according to a Norwegian news agency.

Satyarthi who is 60 years old came to comfort her, as she hugged and kissed her head.  She told Malala the words "You are so brave," while consoling her. Having her uniform be a part of the exhibition of the Nobel Peace Prize 2014 is Malala's wish and the organization granted it.

This is also the first time that her uniform has been seen for the public to appreciate.It was kept by Malala's family since a Taliban man shot her in the head on October 2012. The bullet entered her neck and was embedded in the muscle right above her shoulder blade. After the incident, she was taken to Birmingham, United Kingdom for a major surgery.

On December 10, 2014, she was dubbed as the youngest person to acquire a Nobel Peace award. Satyarthi was also awarded along with her recognizing their struggle and experiences of being suppressed not having the right education.

It was a very moving and inspiring moment for many people who have heard their stories and have learned the miracles in their lives.
