10 people Pakistanis were 'most obsessed' with in 2015

Google's Year in Search reveals the most searched people in Pakistan in 2015


Web Desk December 17, 2015

Google has released its annual review of what Pakistan was searching for this year. While many of the people Pakistanis were obsessed with in 2015 may not surprise you, a few of the results in Google's Year in Search are quite unexpected.

Let’s take a look at Google's Year in Search which reveals the most searched people in Pakistan in 2015.

1. Reham Khan

From marriage to Pakistan's most eligible bachelor to divorce just 10 months later, Reham Khan has been the talk of the town this year. In the space of a year, Reham amassed her share of admirers and haters. Pakistanis seemed to hang on to every word that she uttered and took pleasure in either criticising her or defending her. Love her or hate her, Pakistanis are in for a lot more of Reham next year with her new show Tabdeeli airing on TV.

2. Ayyan Ali

Once a sought-after model by top brands, Ayyan is now sought by courts and law enforcement officials for a very different reason. Dubbed the 'dollar' girl, Ayyan courted notoriety when she was caught allegedly smuggling over $500,000 from Islamabad airport on March 14. However, spending four months in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail instead of denting her popularity rose her to fame as she emerged as the second most searched person in Pakistan, according to Google.

3. Amy Jackson

Surprisingly, British model-actor Amy Jackson came out on number three in the list of most searched people in Pakistan this year. The rising star also recently wore a Shehla Chatoor design to a promotional event for her upcoming film, the Akshay Kumar-starrer Singh Is Bliing.

5. Mira Rajput

It was no surprise that Mira made it to the list after she shot to fame following the announcement of her wedding to Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor earlier this year. Many hearts were broken and with it a new obsession set in. From first pictures of the beautiful couple together to the wedding of the year, the internet documented everything and Pakistanis couldn't stop themselves from looking.

joearanjo | 8 years ago | Reply @ibs: so called indian trolls will visit even a timbaktoo website if it concernd news about India. But Pakistani obsession with India is down to its masses which is getting played out here in these statistics. None of the prominent Indian google searches has anything to do even vaguely to things / persons Pakistani . However the complete reverse is true for Pakistani. There is a deep rooted obsession with India culture/ celebrities/ among Pakistanis that cannot be questioned. We Indians on the other hand are only interested in a debate on issues common to both India and Pakistan. There is not even the tiniest fraction of interest in Pakistan cultural elements among indians which is unfortunate given its rich diversity.
