Pakistani superstar Mahira Khan has delighted fans when she met viral journalist Chand Nawab and recreated his legendary railway station reporting moment, turning the encounter into a lighthearted tribute that quickly gained attention online.
The video shows Mahira filming at a railway station where she playfully imitates the iconic style of Chand Nawab’s viral reporting clip.
As she begins delivering the report in a similar tone, interruptions occur mirroring the humorous chaos that made the original video famous.
The moment becomes even more special when Chand Nawab himself appears, surprising the actress.
Mahira is seen warmly greeting him and expressing how happy and excited she is to finally meet the journalist whose video became a piece of internet history.
Smiling during the conversation, she tells him that instead of talking about her film, they should talk about him. When Nawab asks what she would say about the film, Mahira replies that his story is far more interesting and memorable.
In the end, the actress adds a playful touch to the exchange by telling him that he will receive a special ticket to watch her film, leaving both of them laughing and fans delighted by the wholesome interaction.
For those unfamiliar with the reference, Chand Nawab became an internet sensation in 2008 while working as a reporter in Karachi.
During an Eid travel report at a busy railway station, he repeatedly tried to deliver his piece-to-camera but kept getting interrupted by passengers walking behind him.
His visible frustration and repeated attempts were compiled into a clip that eventually went viral across the internet.
The video gained renewed global attention in 2015 when it inspired a character played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the Bollywood film Bajrangi Bhaijaan, directed by Kabir Khan.
Since then, Chand Nawab’s railway station moment has remained one of South Asia’s most recognizable viral media clips.
