Bollywood star Aamir Khan mistaken for MQM leader, erroneous Pak media under fire

The Khan trio of Bollywood are adored alike in both India and Pakistan. One amongst them, Aamir Khan surfaced on Pakistani TV sets for the wrong reasons, though not his mistake.

Actor Aamir Khan's photo replaced the MQM leader of the same name. It was a news piece about a twin-murder of 2003 that involved the leader.

The quarantine period doubled the watchfulness of the already wary netizens. Screenshots of the news were all around the social media despite the channel deleting it.

Journalists of Pakistan too took a swipe at the bungling of the news. But as a saying goes 'Even Homer Nods', it is one such day for the channel. It will talked about for sometime and people will take it in their stride and move on.

On the work front, Aamir Khan will play the titular 'Laal Singh Chaddha', official remake of the 1994 Tom Hanks starrer Forrest Gump. The film is eyeing a Christmas release of 2020, if things improve with coronavirus-resultant lockdown.

Aamir Khan was last seen in the 2018's Diwali debacle Thugs of Hindostan.
