Pakistani superstar Mahira Khan has recreated journalist Chand Nawab’s legendary railway station scene, adding a festive touch ahead of Eid.

In a viral Instagram reel, Mahira lip-syncs Nawab’s iconic dialogue about Karachi passengers heading home to celebrate Eid. She also hilariously mimics the reporter’s famous on-camera blunder when he lost his cool after being interrupted.

Sharing the reel, Mahira wrote: “Eid aaney waali hai aur Train station pe shoot thi - Chaand Nawab toh banta hai 💁🏻‍♀️.”

The original clip, which later gained global recognition after being featured in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, brought fame and financial opportunities to Chand Nawab, who was then a local reporter. Mahira’s lighthearted tribute has quickly won over social media users, with fans praising her comedic timing and festive spirit.

Mahira Khan’s recreation is timed perfectly with the Eid festivities, as the original scene also centered around Eid travel.
