Imran Khan on Tuesday excitedly messaged his group of friends on WhatsApp that former Pakistan cricket captain and current chairman of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf just walked into the same restaurant.
“Imran Khan just walked in the restaurant!” he typed. “I guess this is the sort of restaurant where celebrities just stroll in. A place where the movers and shakers of the country hang out. Really happening place!”
“Oh my God, Imran Khan just walked in!” he repeated. “Can you guys believe that?!”
“Of course we can,” said Shakeel Hassan, Khan’s old friend from Aicheson College, “we’re right here, waiting for you. You’re even shaking my hand while I’m typing this!”
“I mean get over yourself,” typed in Yawar Siddiqui, another friend. “And let me make one thing very clear. You are picking up the bill this time. Not even letting the restaurant pick up the tab. Buhat bura lagta hai, yaar!”
“And on that note, we must also change the name of this group,” messaged Pervez Hassan. “I mean it’s no big deal and I would have been okay – if amused – at the name Imranz Tigerrz but all we talk here is about you and that’s not done, yaar!”
