The Viral Video Star Who Inspired A "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" Character Hopes Salman Khan Will Pay Him

    “I am a poor journalist and don’t want to deal with the legalities, but I expect Khan to give me a compensation,” Nawab told Gulf News.

    This is Chand Nawab, a Pakistani journalist who went viral in 2008 for doing the world's most interrupted news report.

    And this is Nawazuddin Siddiqui, playing a character inspired by Nawab in the recent Salman Khan blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

    In a recent interview with Gulf News, Nawab said, "I am very thankful to Salman bhai, who considered my character worthy enough to be given a role in his movie."

    But he also added, “I am a poor journalist and don’t want to deal with the legalities, but I expect Khan to give me a compensation for using me as an inspiration for a character."

    “This movie could be a new beginning for my career,” Nawab said wistfully.

    Let's hope Bhai is listening.
