Remember Salman Khan's superhit film Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui's character 'Chand Nawab'? In the film, Nawaz played the character of a reporter who is continuously interrupted by passengers while he was reporting from the Karachi railway station during festival time.
But you will be surprised to know that Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s character in 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' was actually inspired by a real Pakistani TV journalist Chand Nawab who grabbed lot of attention in 2008 after uploading his BTS of reporting.
The Real Chand Nawab is now in news ince again as he recently put his viral “Karachi Se” video up for sale as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) on the Foundation app. It is to be noted that NFT is a platform that helps digital creators earn money through their digital artwork. The minimum bid price for purchasing the viral video of Chand Nawab is 20 Ethereum tokens or $63,604.20 (around Rs 46,74,700).
In the auction platform, Nawab wrote, “I’m Chand Nawab, a journalist and reporter by profession. In 2008, a video of me surfaced on YouTube in which I fumbled while reporting Eid Festival frenzy at a Railway station. While reporting, I was contently interrupted by people, my fumbling and constant irritation made this video viral getting millions of views on YouTube and Facebook.”
“My popularity again surged in 2016 when my viral video inspired Indian filmmaker Kabir Khan to create Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s character in his 2015 blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan. I got fame overnight getting lot of love and appreciation from India and Pakistan especially from Bollywood star Salman Khan and other cast of Bajrangi Bhaijaan,” the Pakistani journalist added.
The viral video dates back to 2008 when Nawab used to work with a Karachi-based news channel and was trying to report the Eid festival frenzy at a railway station in Karachi.
