Even nine years after his death, legendary comedian Moin Akhtar is alive in the hearts of millions of his fans who miss his spontaneous style and witty sense of humour.

With plenty of feathers to his cap, the legend has interviewed several renowned personalities of Pakistan, but his interview with Prime Minister Imran Khan has a separate fan base.

In his particular eccentric style, Akhtar can be seen tossing questions to Khan in the interview during his cricket days. 

"Defter mein Imran Khan, ghar mein Imran Khan, hotel mein Imran Khan, sarak par Imran Khan, baaghon mei Imran Khan, aap iss Imran Khan is pareshan nahi hogaye?" the comedian asked the former cricketer while talking about his raging fame beyond borders.

Shying away, Khan, who was in his mid 30's at the time, humbly replied that it's a matter of great honour for a sportsman or an artist when people recognise him for his good work and bestow them with love and respect.

"I thank God for this immense appreciation," he shared.
