“The oh-so-handsome and just as smart ImranKhanPTI talks to me today – onAfghanistan, Pakistan and whether it’s fair to blame the Afghan War failureon Taliban who hide out in the Tribal Areas,” she tweeted.
Shevardnadze also tweeted a funny video of her and Imran running theirhands through their hair simultaneously.
“Well, I and ImranKhanPTI , at least we have synchronicity on hair matters:D but seriously though, enjoy the interview with this persuasive andcharismatic man,” she said.
The TV anchor’s tweets gathered a lot of attention and many responded toher.
A Twitter user suggested, “You will have to come again in August tointerview him when he takes oath as PM Pakistan.’

During the interview, Imran said the United States uses Pakistan “like atissue paper”.
“For Pakistan, unfortunately, the economic situation is not that strongright now. The country is actually going through an economic crisis.
So American sanctions would be damaging. But I mean, is this justice? Is itfair? Is this how the US would use a country like a tissue paper and whenit thinks it doesn’t need it anymore it just casts it away? I think it’svery immoral,” Imran said during his interview with RT’s Shevardnadze.
