He also posted a picture of the room number he was staying in, referencing his Post 9/11 Blues video.


At his panel at LLF, the Star Wars actor also shared that visiting Pakistan was like visiting an ex, adding that a lot has changed since his last visit. Leaving a bit of himself behind, Ahmed also rapped at the end of his session.

Ahmed's assistant confirmed that the 35-year-old actor was in Karachi after LLF but has now left the country. However, we are still eagerly waiting for the photos that he plans to post in the next few days. Considering the amount of talent Ahmed has, these will be quite entertaining as well.
