Imran said the traditional “adaab” as she praised the lines and presented her with a red rose from behalf of Pakistan and his own self, as a gesture of good faith between both countries.
As she got down from the stage thanking him for the rose, Imran also invited her to Pakistan:
“It would be our deepest wish that you’d visit Pakistan to receive the whole bouquet.”
Imran Abbas is not the first Pakistani to host film awards in India as singer-actor Ali Zafar had also been selected to host the Box Office Awards in October.
