Footage from Nadir Ali’s podcast starring Pakistani actor Moammar Rana has recently leaked online, and the internet is not pleased.
During the interview, Moammar mentioned how he developed a crush on Priyanka Chopra but that it disappeared after seeing her in person. He related the occasion when Nadir asked him to name any Indian actor that appeared ‘bhayanak’ (dangerous), suggesting one’s physical appearance.

In the video, Nadir Ali asks Moammar who is a ‘bhayanak’ in the Pakistani film business, to which the actor responds that there is no such person. ‘Have you seen anyone like that in India?’ Nadir inquired. Moammar responded that he has seen such individuals in the nation. Nadir replied by making expressions and asking the actor whether he had ever misidentified an Indian actor in real life.
‘Is she a maid?’
‘This happened to me when I saw Priyanka Chopra,’ Moammar explained. I had no idea because we were sitting (at an event). A woman approached and sat on the side. We were having a private conversation. I walked forth and backward, unsure of where I should go. She eventually got up and went. I wanted to know who she was.’ Nadir interjected, ‘Maid hai ki kya hai? (She was a maid or what)’
‘The person I asked told me, ‘You didn’t recognise her?” the actor added. No, I said. It turned out that Priyanka Chopra was sitting. My entire crush on her… ‘ With a facepalm, the actor cut himself off and made signs with his hand, implying that his crush for Priyanka had warned him off at that time. The presenter interjected again and compared Priyanka to ‘kala namak’ (black salt), which caused the actor to split. He said, ‘To hell with you (Priyanka).’
Netizen reactions:
A Twitter user slammed him saying the half net worth of Priyanka Chopra is equivalent to the total GDP of Pakistan, while another expressed his sadness saying he is a father of two daughters. Calling him shameful and cheap the netizens slammed him on Twitter.
Pakistani-Zimbabwean model Mathira also took to her social media account to slam Moammar Rana and Nadir Ali for their remarks calling it ‘cheap’.
Moammar, on the other hand, described Ameesha Patel as real, khubsoorat (beautiful).’ When the presenter questioned what made the Gadar actor beautiful to him, the actor responded it was her facial characteristics, to which the host retorted by taunting the guest and asking whether there was anything else to her beauty. He then smirked and gestured towards his chest while singing Chehra Kya Dekhte Ho. Moammar said, ‘Do I have to tell you everything?’ The two burst out laughing
