Actor Farhan Ali Agha, who became a household name in the 1990s owing to his modelling gigs and TV appearances, has announced formally joining the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf.

"I am joining the PTI under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan," he revealed in a press conference today.

"Pakistan is going through a difficult time right now. My country, your country. We were born here. Fame, name, respect, we got it all from here. I've joined this cause because Pakistan needs honest and trustworthy people to come forth so that Prime Minister Imran Khan's vision and Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's dream can be completed. A country where common people can get justice," he added.

Agha also narrated how his father had been part of the armed forces previously. "I've grown up listening to tales of love for the country. And when I hear Prime Minister Imran Khan tell multiple people have continued to harm the country, I wish that people, who love the nation, who boast nationalism, come forth and deliver."

"This may be a new step in politics, but my love for Pakistan and its people dates decades ago," he concluded. "We will take Pakistan forward, with PTI's mission to serve the masses."
