Actor and celebrity talk show host Simi Garewal tweeted her view on Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ouster as the head of the government after he received a no-confidence vote in the Parliament.
The Mera Naam Joker diva had interviewed Imran for her famous talk show A Rendezvous with Simi Garewal in 2006 and had known former Indian cricketer for 40 years. The veteran actress termed him an ‘idealist’ and stated that politics is no place for honest people.
“#ImranKhanPrimeMinister exit teaches: 1. A joint opposition can dismiss a popular Prime Minister. 2 Politics is no place for idealists. (I’ve known Imran for 40 yrs & idealism is at his core). He may have other failings – but corruption is not one of them,” her tweet read.
This is not the first time that Simi has tweeted on Imran. In 2018, when Imran Khan was elected as the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Simi tweeted a secret he shared with her many years ago.
Her tweet read, “#ImranKhan I am deeply ambivalent about the victory. It’s a poisoned chalice! Many years ago @ImranKhanPTI told me that a pir had predicted he will become PM of Pakistan one day – and will be assassinated. Seems Imran wanted it.. despite the cost.. Its sad”.
