Hottie of the week: Moin Khan
Status: Single, “Tarka laga kay”
Birthday: November 5, 1986
Horoscope: Scorpio
Who is he?
Moin Khan, the bloke who made headlines for biking around the world, looks like a hotter espanol version of David Schwimmer. The 26-year-old travelled by road from the United States to Pakistan under the plan titled ‘A Different Agenda’. This adventure-loving guy is a hipster who says “I hate all the professions everyone around me chooses: banking, marketing, finance, PR, doctor, engineer - I don’t want to do any of that.”
Why he’s droolworthy
At heart, Khan may be a “hardcore Punjabi” with a boisterous sense of humour but he looks more like a steamy footballer playing for Italy or Spain – minus the ‘gora’ attitude, of course, which only makes the deal sweeter. He is the very personification of the Mountain Dew man, ready for adventure and up for any challenge. His boyish enthusiasm and love of escapades oozes from every word. “Living in San Francisco for six years I barely got positive news out of Pakistan, so I decided to act like Captain Planet and change things around,” he says.
Who can resist a totally scrumptious guy who doesn’t act like he’s a freaking Greek god with eyes and nose all pointing north? Our Lord Humbleton doesn’t mind showing his silly side and can take a jibe at himself. The biker claims, “I love motorcycles more than I should, and I love Pakistan more than I love motorcycles. That’s a whole lot of love that makes me want to do these crazy missions.” He is the class clown, the suave patriot and the gung-ho risk taker who wouldn’t take no for an answer, and can turn the dreariest task into an adventure.
Things you didn’t know about him
Khan reads a lot of Che Guevara and listens to Tupac Shakur. “People like them inspire me to get out of the shell we live in and do something amazing for others,” he says.
His inexhaustible energy will never make you feel old as he himself does not want to “grow old on a charpayee.”
As for his ideal woman, Khan’s better half “should not be worried about me being me” and we suggest only Pamela Anderson body doubles should try out for this bloke who demands a perfect “36-24-36”!
Correction: An earlier version of this article had misstated that Moin Khan is 24 years old.

hes ok... not my type at all though :p
What Moin has done is challenging, and impressive; but the experiences are only for himself as an individual. If he thinks he can make a living out of this, he will be let down. People in our country have forgotten great individuals like Quaid-e-Azam. What accomplishment can people feel while relating themselves to Moin? I think it would be best for him to settle down with a job, further his education and find a good place for himself where he can also fulfill his hobbies and earn a living for himself.
Fair enough
Please Please change the topic of the article to something else, "Hottie of the week" is more suited for females then males, below are a few suggestions.
Hunk of the week Man of the week Model of the week"Hotter Espanol version of David Schwimmer" David is not hot and even his rhinoplasty did not help him much with his looks. Comparing this guy to European soccer players is the height of an inferiority complex prevalent among the Anglicized elite. Why not compare him to local or Bollywood celebrities? I am sure people in the West don't compare their hotties of the week to people from South Asia.
Too bad his taste in music and literature is pedestrian and how did he acquire the surname Khan, being a Punjabi.
So a guy who has done nothing except that he looks good and has a rich back ground to ride around the world is a hottie? Guess what, no one likes those jobs you mention but then we dont have the luxury of not having a family to support and a rich dad.Clearly snobbish ET would do well to get its ideals right.
Pretty pathetic if you ask me. What did the different agenda achieve for Pakistan or its image? Seeking personal glory at the cost of your country is disgusting. When he achieves something worthwhile for Pakistan then talk about this stuff. And WTF 36-24-36. Who says crap like that?
He was born on Nov 5, 1986 and he is 24 year old :D
What does it take to qualify as a "hottie" of the week on tribune...i want to apply.
"Who can resist a totally scrumptious guy who doesn’t act like he’s a freaking Greek god with eyes and nose all pointing north? Our Lord Humbleton doesn’t mind showing his silly side and can take a jibe at himself. The biker claims"
and you call this gibberish, journalism????..........
I like the tagline, "I don't want to do anything." You will do "Kamal" mate; like Ghalib had proclaimed.
@Xtreme: Can't we people live without criticizing everything? Lets find beauty in such small things, or remain silent if we don't like them.
I appreciate the guy who tried to create a positive vibe for Pakistanis.
Moin, you should have continued your travel to India also.
I would have personally welcomed you
Not impressed
So, being able to afford riding round the world is hot????? You don't have any other news???
does this paper ever publish serious stuff? a proper interview would have been so much better than “36-24-36”! :@
