During a practice session for Pakistan’s prestigious Civil Service exam, an unusual and unexpected scenario unfolded, sparking widespread attention and intrigue. A video from a Pakistani institute capturing this mock interview has gone viral, but not for its typical academic rigor. Instead, the spotlight is on the bizarre and surprising questions posed by the interviewer.
The video begins with the interviewer asking the candidate about his favourite actor, to which the candidate responds with Pakistani actress Dur-e-Fishan Saleem. The conversation takes an odd turn when the interviewer presses him to specify which body part of the actress he admires the most. Initially, the candidate mentions her eyes, but the interviewer insists on an answer involving a body part below the neck. Clearly uncomfortable, the candidate finally says that he likes her hands.
However, the strangeness doesn’t stop there. The interviewer then shifts focus to Indian cinema, asking about the candidate’s favourite Indian actor. The candidate names Katrina Kaif, a popular Bollywood actress. In an unexpected twist, the interviewer presents a highly improbable hypothetical situation: if India were planning a nuclear attack on Pakistan, and the only way to prevent it was to obtain secret information from Katrina Kaif by entering into a relationship with her, what would the candidate do? With a serious demeanor, the candidate responds that for the sake of national security, he would comply with such demands.
The scenario takes another bizarre turn when the interviewer changes the setting to Afghanistan. He introduces a character named Gul Khan and suggests that the candidate would need to form a relationship with him to achieve some undisclosed objective. When the candidate inquires about the nature of this relationship, the interviewer accuses him of hypocrisy and abruptly ends the interview, asking him to leave. This peculiar exchange has garnered significant online attention and has gone viral.
Meanwhile, in her professional life, Katrina Kaif was last seen in “Merry Christmas,” directed by Sriram Raghavan. The film, which also stars Vijay Sethupathi, premiered in January this year and received rave reviews from critics. Currently, Katrina has not signed any new projects except for Farhan Akhtar’s upcoming film “Jee Le Zara,” which features Priyanka Chopra and Alia Bhatt alongside her.
This unusual mock interview has not only captivated audiences but also sparked discussions about the appropriateness and relevance of such questions in a professional setting meant to evaluate future civil servants.
