ISLAMABAD - General Elections 2018 unofficial results have announced Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf as the leading party. Celebrations are in full swing across the country and everyone is excited for ‘Naya Pakistan.’
Imran Khan’s first public address since the elections made waves across the country, leaving several teary-eyed and full of hope for the future. His address also managed to gain a lot of popularity across the border and had prominent personalities send him congratulatory messages and best wishes.
Among the first to comment was Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor, who has a love-hate relationship with Pakistan and Muslims. He wrote, “Well spoken Imran Khan. I have been saying whatever you said on all channels past two days regarding India-Pakistan! I hope you succeed in making your “*Mulk*” have good relations with my “*Mulk.*”
Can’t say if this was a publicity stunt for his upcoming film *Mulk* or if he genuinely meant it. Let’s hope its the latter.
Actor Ayushmann Khurrana on Twitter wrote, “His victory speech at 92 cricket World Cup made my father predict – ‘Yeh banda pakka ek din Pakistan ka PM banega.’ And it happened today. Congrats Imran Khan sir. Have always been a fan. Now you have the biggest responsibility of bringing peace and harmony in the subcontinent.”
Bollywood diva, Sophie Choudry not only retweeted Jemima Khan’s viral tweet, she also wrote a message for him.
“Good Morning #NayaPakistan! May this be the beginning of a new era in peace, unity & prosperity for you all! Imran Khan has many hurdles to overcome! He’s been resilient & determined so far. Let’s hope he really does make the changes he has promised!,” read her tweet.
Jaaved Jaafri said, “Congratulations Imran Khan…you have been a great sportsman and a diligent social worker. I am sure you will be a wise and potent prime minister benefitting not only Pakistan but also Indo Pak relationships. Dua’s and best wishes. *Nasruminallaahe wa fatahun Qareeb*!”
Actor Raveena Tandon in a tweet also congratulated the “neighbours for choosing/voting for a democracy above militancy.” She also expressed her embarrassment over “the hysterical condescending rant by some of our own news channels crossing lines of decency.”
Heartwarming to see such wishes for our *Kaptaan* from across the border.
