Twitter has always been a great platform to interact with your favourite celebrities directly, but then also most people struggle to get a reply. And it’s not that common that a celebrity replies to your tweet to them, that too immediately.
But, it seems like it was Hira Hyder?’s lucky day. Hyder, a journalist, tweeted to Ali Zafar saying that the day she gets to interview him, will be the day her ‘career would be at its utmost brilliance!’

Well, the day has come, as Zafar was quick to reply and was ready for an interview then and there. His reply was quite humble, he said, “Should’ve wished for something bigger. 7 questions and I shall answer now.”

Apparently, the Urdu verses above translate to this:
‘Kya muhabbat ki koi zubaan hoti hai?
Kya iss ki shiddat bayaan hoti hai?
Kya chahat kisi ki raazdaan hoti hai?
Kya haqeeqat kisi ko ayaan hoti hai?’
If you’re a fan of Ali Zafar, you shouldn’t waste any time, go and tweet him now, and maybe you’ll get your interview as well.
