Everyone knows that Imran Khan was a heartthrob back in the day, and that should make him used to the admiration of women. But as it turns out, even our Prime Minister is human, and still gets surprised when women fawn over him.
Prime Minister Khan is recently on a visit to Malaysia, and this is what happened to him when he was pictured with Mahatir Mohammad and his wife:
All Blushes in Front of the Camera
The Prime Minister blushed as the Malaysian First Lady held his hand in a handshake. After his meeting with the Malaysian Prime Minister, Mahathir Muhammad invited his guest in front of the cameras and swoon over the politician-philanthropist Khan.
The Malaysian First Lady Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali turned out to be a fan of the legendary cricketer Imran Khan. During the Prime Minister’s first official trip to Malaysia, the Malaysian Prime Minister, the First Lady and Imran Khan were posing for pictures. During this time, the first lady asked to hold Imran’s hand. The Prime Minister politely responded with ‘sure’ but his face gave it away as Khan couldn’t stop blushing.
In response the room burst into laughter at Siti’s enthusiasm and Imran’s flushed face.
Reactions
Meanwhile, Pakistanis from all over are finding our Prime Minister’s not-so-suave moment adorable.

As it usually happens, some comparisons also got made:
Nawaz Sharif to Kim Barker: Can i be your friend?
Mrs Mahathir to Imran Khan: Can i hold your hand?
This is the difference
