Entertainment Desk March 03, 2021

Akbar Chaudhry rose to fame for imitating hit memes, icons and sayings all over social media. In his recent video, he had mimicked Indian congress leader Shashi Tharoor and his way of speaking English that the latter seemed to enjoy.

The 35-seconds-long clip features Chaudhry showing three steps to achieve fluency in speaking English just like the leader. In the clip, he jokingly instructs one to blend a handy dictionary into a quick smoothie and secondly, an IV drip connected with the vocabulary book that could enhance one’s grammar instantly.

Soon after, the congressperson tweeted with a laughing emoticon and said, “Next one on Imran Khan please?” reported Hindustan Times. The response has garnered almost 14k likes on Twitter and according to the Pakistani comedian, the video is now a major hit on WhatsApp groups in India.

In response to the request made by the Indian official, Chaudhry tweeted, “Thank you so much for sharing this. I’d love to imitate Khan Sahib but the equivalent video as to PM’s ‘fancy’ experiences and since I am a comedian, and on top of that an engineer too, I am thoroughly deficient in that ‘relevant’ experience.” He was referring to Khan’s younger days as a heartthrob in England.
