Actor Aamir Khan and former Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan will star in a live telethon on Pakistan’s Geo TV this evening. Viewers will call the channel on designated phone lines, speak to the celebrities – ask them a question – and donate a sum of money towards Imran’s second Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital, to be built in Karachi.

Hoooo… Channo ki aankh mein ik nasha hai. I thought I heard someone sing…dang, you hear it too, don’t you?

Resonating throughout Pakistan, USA, UK, and all around the world for that matter, the sudden Channo-mania has caused quite a hullabaloo, uproar, and frenzy. The man behind the mania, whose voice is often compared to Kishore Kumar’s, is none other than, painter/model/singer, Monsieur Ali Zafar.

We had a chance to meet up with Ali Zafar, who was in Karachi for a couple of days. Sammy kept singing, Ke huqqa paani…

“Arg! It’s stuck in my head!” Sammy hollered.
