The clip reminded some people of actor Nawazuddin Siddique as he played Nawab’s role in a Salman Khan starrer movie.
Screengrab of viral video
Pakistani reporter Chand Nawab is again getting viral as people celebrate Eid al-Adha. Nawab became an internet sensation after a blooper of him reporting at a railway station took the internet by storm.
The clip, originally from 2008, shows him repeatedly attempting to deliver a piece to the camera while being interrupted by passengers walking past. His frustrated yet humorous delivery and genuine reactions made the clip wildly popular across South Asia.
The video is again being circulated on the social media platform. An X user shared the clip with the caption, “Eid is incomplete without this video.”
Social Media Reaction
Several social media users also reacted to the clip. While some called it “evergreen”, for some, it reminded them of actor Nawazuddin Siddique as he played Nawab’s role in a Salman Khan starrer movie.
Nawazuddin perfectly captured the essence of the real Chand Nawab — the quirky charm, stammering delivery, and kind-hearted spirit. The film even recreated a scene similar to the original viral railway station clip.
Eid al-Edha
Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the two major Islamic festivals. It honors the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael) as an act of obedience to God. The festival is being observed on June 7 this year.
According to Islamic tradition, God was testing Ibrahim’s faith by asking him to sacrifice his beloved son.
As Prophet Ibrahim was about to obey God’s order, God stopped him at the very last moment and asked him to sacrifice a ram (male ship) instead.
