| Chand Nawab Vs Nawazuddin Siddiqui on Duniya News |
Staff correspondent, August 8, 2015, NewsCrunch
Pakistan TV Channel Duniya News, which ran a 15 minute programme on the making of Bajrangi Bhaijaan recently, brought face-to-face Pakistani journalist Chand Nawab and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who plays a role based on him.
Chand Nawab had gone viral in Pakistan years before Bajrangi Bhaijaan released. He had been caught on camera bumbling and struggling to file a report on people going home to celebrate Eid.
In the viral video, standing on a crowded overbridge, Chand Nawab struggled to drive away the people, who came in the way and say, people were going home from Karachi to celebrate Eid.
The video became a scene in the movie to introduce Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who mimicked the journalist standing on a Railway overbridge.
On Duniya News show, both Chand Nawab and Nawazuddin Siddiqui attempted the scene, with the Pak journalist humorously correcting the dialogue of the Indian actor.
Chand Nawab said he had become a celebrity now with people stopping him on the road to take selfies.
