In the video, a Pakistani journalist is seen expressing admiration for Irrfan and inviting him to visit Pakistan. “Hello Irrfan bhai, you have a great following in Pakistan. I wish you could sometime come to Pakistan. It’ll be a great pleasure,” the journalist says.
Without missing a beat, Irrfan cuts him off and replies with a straight face:
“Mein aah toh jaunga, wapas aaunga ke nahi?” (I may go there, but will I be able to return?)
The audience erupted in laughter at the subtle yet powerful remark — one that now feels especially poignant given the current political climate.
