On his 70th birthday, we’re looking at some of the memorable statements former prime minister Imran Khan has made. People have praised his politics, possibly even his manner, and his cricket career.
Whether you agree with Imran or not, you have to acknowledge that a lot of the things he has said have become fairly memorable quotes.
Ghabrana Nahi Hai
Imran may be best known outside of Pakistan as the country’s former prime minister and, before that, as the cricket captain who led his country to World Cup victory in 1992, but in his home country, he is best known for having coined the expression “ghabrana nahi hai,” or “don’t panic,” which has inspired numerous memes and even a movie!
Diamond se mehengi cheez
Imran is definitely not a girl’s best friend, even though diamonds can be. One day Imran answered, “Diamonds cost little. They ought to be discussing a pricey subject, “when questioned about whether Bahria Town’s founder Malik Riaz gave his wife a diamond jewelry. We simply can’t stop considering this.
Absolutely not
This phrase is now recognizable. Even Imran laughed at the “absolutely not” moment that stuck in the minds of his followers. It has generated merchandise, Twitter trends, and many other things, but most importantly, it has become a catchphrase that everyone uses.
Khatarnak hota ja raha hoon
Could we have compiled a list of famous quotes without including this one? It exudes all the attitude and bravado we associate with Imran.
Tabdeeli aa gayi hai
“Tabdeeli aa nahi rahi, tabdeeli aa gayi hai” (change is not on the way, change is already here), a proverb that everyone may credit to Imran Khan, concludes this list.
