Mehwish Hayat is rubbing shoulders with the likes of Hasan Minhaj and the Internet went berserk. Maybe it was the fact that she was literally rubbing shoulders with the Indian-American comedian.
The United States Open Tennis Championship was pretty eventful for the Pakistani actress. She was attending the event on behalf of Dubai’s Emirates airline.
It was such a joy to be invited by the @emirates to represent Pakistan at the @usopen Finals & to rub shoulders with global celebrities such as @hasanminhaj . Love his Netflix show & his outspoken opinions. @RafaelNadal ‘s victory was the cherry on the cake ! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/u9HNPmYakF

Maybe it was the Punjab Nahi Jaungi starlet’s fanbase going wild. Or maybe it was the fact they’re literally rubbing shoulders. Either way, we’re so loving this.

Some questioned why a Pakistani celebrity was at the US Open Tennis. Same reason the Actor-in-Law actress was awarded the ‘Pride of Performace‘ award in Norway. She’s that fab alright.
Why would someone invite Pakistan to us open ..flabbergasted.. there is not one paki tennis player on international stage ..
