As published in huffingtonpost,Six years ago, a video of a Pakistani television journalist trying desperately to finish his piece to camera at a bustling railway station as passersby kept blocking the view of his cameraman, went viral on the Internet.
Today, Pakistani journalist Chand Nawab is a household name, thanks to a big ticket film that has actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui playing him.
Nawab became an Internet meme when his colleagues uploaded a video of him covering an Eid story at a railway platform on YouTube. The same theme, used in the Salman Khan starrer 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', is a high point of the film's comic relief.
As published in Huffington Post,Nawab told Rezaul H. Laskar of the Hindustan Times on phone from Karachi."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,”
"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," Nawab, who works with Karachi-based Indus News, told Laskar.
Siddiqui's character is based on the same humorous theme, and provides comic relief in the movie, which has become a major hit. Nawab told the Express Tribune that he was a poor man, and hoped that Khan would also compensate him for the inspiration they have taken from his character.
As published in Huffington Post,
Nawab also said that he wants to meet Khan at some point. “I will be meeting Salman Khan, I cannot disclose when, it’s under discretion, but yes, I will be meeting him and if he decides to compensate me then that will be great."
