UAE-based electronics retailer Zam Zam Electronics, widely known on social media as "Bara Bhai" and "Chota Bhai," called Pakistani cricketer Fakhar Zaman live on a YouTube podcast at 1 am with a 1 crore rupee request.

 

During a recent podcast appearance, the host asked the brothers whether any top Pakistani cricketer trusted them enough to send money on their request, no questions asked. They named Fakhar Zaman as their favourite player. 

 

When the host asked whether Fakhar would send 1 crore rupees on a direct call, the brothers responded: "Let's try."

 

They called him on the spot. His son picked up first before handing the phone to her father.

 

"Assalamualaikum, Fakhar bhai, how are you?" the brothers said.

 

"Walaikumassalam, I'm good, how are you?" Fakhar replied.

 

Noting the late hour, the brothers asked if he was asleep. "No, I was just lying down with my child," Fakhar said.

 

They told him someone in Pakistan urgently needed 1 crore rupees. Fakhar replied, "If it's urgent, I'll try to arrange it. Send me the account number. I'll talk to my brother, he handles these matters. If it's not possible immediately, it will definitely be done by 9 am."

 

When asked if he needed to consult anyone, he said, "No, it will be arranged. Don't worry."

 

Zam Zam electronics,  founded in 2013 by Pakistani brothers Mirza Farooq Baig, Rauf Baig, Abdul Ghafoor, and Muhammad Shakoor, is a major name in UAE retail with a large social media following.
