Pakistani superstar Mahira Khan delighted fans after meeting viral journalist Chand Nawab and recreating his famous railway station reporting moment.
A video of the meeting shows Mahira warmly greeting Nawab, seemingly excited at finally meeting the reporter whose clip became one of Pakistan’s most memorable viral videos.
During the conversation, Mahira kept the mood playful. She told Nawab that instead of discussing her film, they should talk about him. When the reporter asked what she would say about the film, Mahira replied that his story was far more interesting and memorable.
The lighthearted exchange ended with the actress joking that she would send him a special ticket to watch her film.
Chand Nawab rose to fame in 2008 when a video of his reporting from a crowded railway station in Karachi went viral online.
At the time, he attempted to record a travel report during the Eid rush, but passengers repeatedly walked behind him and interrupted his piece-to-camera, forcing him to restart several times.
The clip later became one of the most widely shared internet videos from Pakistan.
The story gained global attention again in 2015 when Indian actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui portrayed a character inspired by Chand Nawab in the Bollywood film Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
The film, directed by Kabir Khan, featured a humorous scene that paid tribute to the reporter’s famous railway station broadcast.
