A video of a Pakistani man dancing to ‘Besharam Rang’ — the ‘controversial’ song from Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming movie Pathaan is viral as social media users mistook the man as Bilawal Bhutto, the foreign minister of Pakistan. As Pakistan’s foreign minister became the target of social media humour for his impeccable moves, Bilawal-lookalike was identified as Mehroz Baig, apparently a student of media sciences from Karachi.
The viral video was traced to Instagram user Inaya who was seen dancing in the video alongwith the ‘Bilawal-lookalike’. In the caption of the original video, it was mentioned that the dance performance was part of Inaya’s sister’s wedding.
Bilawal has been in the news for spewing venom against India on international platforms. In December 2022, the BJP held nationwide protest against Bilwal Bhutto’s personal attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS.
