After securing a historic victory in the New York election, Zohran Mamdani is winning attention among Pakistanis, with social media users noting a striking resemblance between the new NYC administrator and Pakistani actors. As discussions about Mamdani\u2019s lookalikes picked up online, Junaid Khan jokingly expressed a hope for VIP treatment in the city, while Arsalan Naseer humorously speculated about possible family ties. Resharing a post claiming Mamdani resembles Kamzarf actor Junaid, Khan wrote, \u201cHopefully I\u2019ll get some VIP treatment when I visit New York next.\u201d Meanwhile, Arslan also took the comparison in stride, replying sarcastically to a netizen: \u201cYes, guys, it\u2019s true, he\u2019s my cousin.\u201d \u201cCongrats, Pakistan\u2014we now have a cousin as NYC mayor,\u201d he added. Mamdani became popular in Pakistan after winning NYC\u2019s mayoral elections. The 34-year-old election winner was born in Uganda to a family of Indian origin and has lived in the United States since he was seven, becoming a naturalised US citizen in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
