When clicking into table, the filter is reset

I have a table visual. As expected, the table get filtered by click on other visual on the same page. The problem occurs when I click on a row in the filtered table. After the click, the filters are reset and the tables shows all records in gray color while the selected record is darker. This is not the desired response. 

 

I'm looking for keeping the filtered rows after clicking on the table. I need the filtered rows because I use it to filter a third table with more details.

 

Here is a simple data to demonstrate the issue:

Here is a simple page with three visuals  with full interaction between each other.

After selecting one category on the first visual on the left, the table is filtered as expected.

After clicking on one row on the table on the left, the table filter is reset and all data is presented. This is not the desired response. I want the action of selection to be

1: Keep the filtered records on the table on the right

2. Filter the second table in the bottom  based on the selected row in the first table on the right

@Anonymous , If you use a slicer, that will remain. If the other visual is filtering, then you can use Ctrl+click to keep filter and add

Thanks @amitchandak, this works. I don't need the sclicer in this case but ctr+click works perfectly.
