It seems like Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad is a lot more than meets the eye.
Often put up as an example of walking the fine line in the power corridors of Sindh, on Saturday evening he decided to show case a totally different side of himself.
Attending the ‘I am Karachi Youth Festival’ closing ceremony at the Arts Council in Karachi, Sindh’s longest serving Governor picked up the guitar and gave a stunning solo performance, playing to the tune of a popular Bollywood song.
The performance left many struggling for words.
Such was his performance that he had all those gathered singing out the tune
If this was not enough, he reportedly sang a ghazal by Mehdi Hasan "Yeh Watan Tumhara Hai".
But it was not all play for the Governor. Dr Ebad lauded efforts of Karachi Arts Council and lauded the festival.
The seven-day youth festival began at Arts Council in Karachi on March 1.
