Who do Pakistanis think is the world's most handsome man? Imran Khan of course

Who do Pakistanis think is the world's most handsome man? Imran Khan of course

For them he beats out Henry Cavill, Harry Styles, Hrithik Roshan, Tom Cruise and Jamie Dornan.
03 Jun, 2021

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the handsomest of them all? Imran Khan, of course.

The hashtag '100 most handsome men 2021' was trending on Pakistani Twitter Wednesday morning and you can bet your last dollar that Prime Minister Imran Khan is associated with it. But would you have expected that Shafqat Mahmood was a contender too?

First, let's have some context.

Top Beauty World is an American social media platform run by three plastic surgeons from the Los Angeles Cosmetic Surgery Clinic that annually ranks the world's 100 most handsome men, and most beautiful women in separate lists. These lists are shared across the platform's social media channels on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

This year, they started taking nominations via social media in May.

As names from across the globe were put forward, Pakistanis began taking part as well.

Enter our our Handsome PM™.

This sentiment is shared by many Pakistanis, who all believe our 68-year-old premier is the world's most handsome man.

The man.

The myth.

The legend.

The...top of the list.

The diamond?

The stage of age!

The trend has come as a Godsend to the PM's many supporters who were itching to pledge their support to their leader. In fact, this time, they didn't even have to bring up the handsome part themselves.

This user invited challenges to his claim.

And of course there were few. How can someone compete with "another level of beauty?"

If you thought PM Imran was the only member of the political fraternity nominated then boy were you wrong. Politicians are the people to go to if what you're looking for are good looks — Pakistan is convinced.

PPP head Bilawal Bhutto Zardari made the cut. How could he not, at less than half of the PM's age?

Another politician nominated was none other than the fallen king of Gen Z — Shafqat Mahmood.

His youthful flare and bad-boy vibes courtesy of his hasty decisions were enough to land him a nomination alongside Chris Hemsworth, Brad Pitt and Zac Efron.

Mahmood wasn't even the strangest nominee on the list but he proves one thing — Pakistanis sure do love their politicians.

Undoubetedly,IK is the handsome most known personality of Pakistan. He is super dashing even in his late 60š. Next is Wassem at the age of 55,he beats million pakistanis in his overall put-togather clean look.

Apart from being handsome, undoubtedly, PM Imran Khan is honest, dedicated, brave and most importantly he advocates poor people's problems and work for their well-beings. In my view, these are unique qualities, no other world leader has.

Imran Khan is O.K. but he is not as handsome as the great Dilip Kumar. And he doesn't wear Full Suits anymore. ?

This is the only thing where he can top the list (here too he will need the help of selectors obviously). Whereas, when it comes to governance, honesty, deliverance, competence, geography, economy, and common sense. The lad will definitely top the list from the bottom pit.

They only pick his good pics which anyone can have. A handsome person has all pictures appearing phenomenal from every angle. I have a few pictures of the PM in which he appears like a llama trying to smile. Hideous as hell.

IK may no longer be the young and dashing man he once was. But you hold a contest for the most influential, humane and positive minded leader in the world. And nobody would even come close to the man.

Young, smart, handsome is Justin Pierre James Trudeau PC MP is a Canadian politician who is the 23rd and current prime minister of Canada since November 2015 and the leader of the Liberal Party since 2013. His hair style is renewed in world, and famous and very intelligent.

Early each morning he walks, he runs, he warm up, with a doz of body guards like Salman Khan. Then gym exercises. He has no secret plans to buy expensive properties in Dubai or London, and he’s honest . He’s handsome, with good mind & body. Let’s lend him every support to eradicate corruption from Pak. And say big no to all parties indulging in embezzlement.

Undoubtedly and unquestionably, Imran Khan stands out the most handsome man in this century, of course when he was a little younger, say up to 50 years old.

@M. Saeed Handsome is one who handsome does. Performance-wise, given such favourable circumstances, he is the worst PM ever in the country. I don’t blame him; he is just not PM material.
