Interestingly, this is not the first time a journalist from Pakistan has succeeded in becoming an internet sensation.

Chand Nawab, took social media by storm in 2008 when his colleagues uploaded a video of him trying to record something on the stairway of a railway Station. But he kept getting interrupted. This scene later made it to Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and Nawab became even more popular. Nawab's role was essayed by actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

"I saw the film on the first day it was released in Pakistan. And I was very happy with the way Nawazuddin Siddiqui portrayed me in Bajrangi Bhaijaan,” Nawab told Hindustan Times.

"I want to thank (director) Kabir Khan, Salman Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui for the way they portrayed me and Pakistan in the film. Nawazuddin has done a good role," he said.
