Mahira Hafeez Khan, a renowned Pakistani actress and politician, known for her Bollywood debut in Raees alongside Shah Rukh Khan, gave fans a special Eid treat. The celebrated star, one of Pakistan’s highest-paid actresses, recreated the iconic Chand Nawab reporting video, bringing nostalgia and humor to social media, making her post an instant hit.
A Spot-On Recreation That Left Fans in Splits
In her latest Instagram post, Mahira was seen at a railway station, dressed in a red salwar suit, holding a mic as she mimicked the legendary journalist’s interrupted broadcast. Just like the original clip, where Chand Nawab struggled to finish his report due to passersby, Mahira also faced a funny interruption, making her recreation even more authentic. Her spot-on expressions and reactions perfectly captured the humor of the moment, leaving fans in splits and generating thousands of shares.
Mahira’s Caption Adds to the Fun
Sharing the post, Mahira wrote, “Eid aaney waali hai aur Train station pe shoot thi - Chaand Nawab toh banta hai” (Eid is coming, and since we had a shoot at the train station, recreating Chand Nawab was a must). The video quickly went viral, earning praise and laughs from fans. Many admired how she effortlessly blended comedy with nostalgia, turning a simple tribute into an internet sensation loved by audiences.
A Connection to Bollywood’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan
Her recreation also reignited conversations about the original video’s cultural impact.

Mahira’s tribute reminded audiences of how that viral moment became a lasting part of Bollywood pop culture and still resonates with audiences today.
