Chand Nawab (born 1963) is a Pakistani journalist from Karachi.[1]
Life and career
Nawab was born in Mirpurkhas, Pakistan. Later his family moved to Karachi. He started his career at Indus News where he worked as a journalist and news presenter. He gained public recognition through a video uploaded by his colleagues in 2008 in which he tried to record a film to camera on a stairway at a railway station while repeatedly interrupted by passengers. The unedited video became popular on social media.[2]
Kabir Khan, the director of the film Bajrangi Bhaijaan, added Nawab's role to that film. Nawab was played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. After the film's release, Nawab became more prominent. In an interview to Hindustan Times, he said that he started receiving job offers and roles in TV commercials from various TV channels and companies, but said he was not interested.[3]
