Wasim Akram exposes Fakhar-e-Alam’s hilarious ‘Naagan’ dance talent
Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has brought back a hilarious throwback video of his close friend Fakhar-e-Alam, giving fans a glimpse of his unexpected dance talent from his younger days.
Taking to Instagram, Wasim shared a video of Fakhar-e-Alam dancing in one of his earlier film appearances alongside actress Resham. Playfully teasing his longtime friend, Wasim wrote, “Hey @falamb3, I didn't know about your hidden talent, especially with these Naagan dance steps,” along with a series of laughing emojis.
The throwback clip highlights a lesser-known part of Fakhar-e-Alam’s career, as he was not always known as a television host and media personality. He had also worked in films and appeared alongside Resham, and the old dance sequence has now resurfaced thanks to Wasim’s Instagram post.
The video quickly grabbed attention online, with fans and celebrities joining in on the fun. Wasim’s playful caption also gave the clip a light-hearted touch, turning an old performance into a fresh social media talking point.
Host Shajia Niazi reacted to the post by saying that only a true friend could roast someone in this way. Actor Humayun Saeed also joined the fun, writing that “Haji Sahab” has many talents, while former cricketer Azhar Ali jokingly described Fakhar-e-Alam as an all-rounder.
Several other celebrities and social media users also reacted to the throwback with laughing emojis and playful comments. Actress Ayesha Omar pointed out that the Naagan dance only appeared for a brief moment and jokingly said that viewers wanted to see more. Actor Bilal Abbas Khan also left a light-hearted reaction, while other users encouraged Fakhar to recreate the dance.
One social media user reminded Fakhar of his old dancing days, while another suggested that he return to music. Another commenter even tagged Resham and Fakhar-e-Alam and asked them to recreate the performance, calling the old clip a “masterpiece.”
Wasim Akram and Fakhar-e-Alam have been close friends for years and regularly appear together during cricket transmissions. The two also performed Hajj together earlier this year, reflecting their longstanding friendship beyond their professional association.
While Fakhar-e-Alam is now widely recognized for his work as a host and media personality, the resurfaced video has reminded fans of his earlier work in the entertainment industry and his appearance on the big screen.
