Terrorist Dawood Ibrahim’s rumoured girlfriend Mehwish Hayat wants to be Pakistan's PM

Pakistani actress and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's rumoured girlfriend Mehwish Hayat dreams of becoming the Prime Minister of the country some day. During a recent interview with Geo TV, Hayat shared that she is inspired by Pakistani PM Imran Khan and would like to occupy the chair someday.

When asked if she intends to pursue a career in politics, the actor confidently replied, “InshaAllah”(god willing). Hayat, 33, said she is massively inspired by the politics of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party.  

“I am inspired by their politics because they have brought about good changes and a paradigm shift in the way society used to think. Imran Khan was a cricketer before he took the plunge into politics. If a cricketer can become the prime minister of the country, surely actors can also become one as well,” said Hayat.

When asked if she intends to challenge incumbent PM Imran Khan, Hayat said she could definitely become a contender for the prime minister’s position.

“I don’t want to challenge him (Imran Khan) but someone is bound to take his place later on and I can also become a contender for the prime minister’s position,” she said.

It may be noted that Imran Khan is often seen as the pseudo prime minister, installed by the Pakistani Army. It is claimed that Imran Khan works as figurehead PM, acting as a marionette whose strings are controlled by the Army.
