Pakistani reporter Chand Nawab, who gained fame after one of his amusing yet iconic on-camera reports from 2008 went viral, continues to capture attention. He was also the real-life inspiration for Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s character in the hit film Bajrangi Bhaijaan. In the original video, Chand Nawab is seen reporting on the Eid festival frenzy in Karachi, but he keeps fumbling and getting interrupted by passengers.
This viral video remains popular on the internet and recently resurfaced during Eid-ul-Adha. Amid the flood of Eid greetings and wishes online, people couldn’t help but remember the epic live reporting of the Pakistani reporter during the festival.
An X user named Aditya shared Chand Nawab’s hilarious video and wrote, “Eid is incomplete without his video.”

Social media users reacted to the post with laughing emojis. One user wrote, “Patience level of this man,” while another commented, “Genuine reporting.”
Another user chimed in, “Legendary clip.”
Some even recalled a similar scene featuring Nawazuddin Siddique in the Salman Khan film.

Meanwhile, many others shared the viral clip on their social media handles. Originally posted on YouTube in 2008, the clip shows Chand Nawab reporting from a railway station about Eid celebrations in Karachi. As the video progresses, it turns into a series of hilarious events as the reporter bungles his lines multiple times and gets constantly pushed by passersby. The video became widely popular on the internet.
Additionally, Chand Nawab has gone viral for other antics. In another instance, Nawab was at a Karachi paan shop, reporting for his Urdu channel. In this video, he tries to inform the audience about the popularity of the city’s paan but once again struggles with his lines. Adding a realistic touch, he even stuffs the paan into his mouth mid-sentence, making the video even more hilarious.
