1992, 2006 or 2009? Nida Yasir’s confused response to Pakistan’s World Cup win cracks up Twitter

Nida, along with host Shaista Lodhi, made a guest appearance on former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar’s show titled The Shoaib Akhtar Show. In a teaser released by the streaming platform UrduFlix for the show, the Rawalpindi Xpress was seen asking Nida a trick question.

“When did Pakistan win the 1992 World Cup?” Shoaib asked and the question sent Nida into a confused mode where she couldn’t think of an answer. Instantly, she said “2006?” and then Shaista whispered the correct and rather obvious answer, “1992,” – even though the cricketer asked her not to help Nida.

Hearing that, Nida turned to Akhtar again, rather confidently, and asked him to repeat the question. “When did Pakistan win the World Cup in 2009?” he asked this time. “1992,” blurted Nida. To which, Shaista laughed and said, “At least listen to the question.” At this point, it started to be less funny than she thought it is because she realised how wrong her answers were.

The video posted on Urdflix’s official account went viral on social media with everyone taking a dig at Nida’s response. “It’s happening again. No one can beat Nida Yasir in current affairs,” wrote a user on Twitter.

Another user was excited to see what more “entertainment” two morning hosts churn out together. “This is going to be so much fun when two morning show hosts share the screen together in,” they wrote.

A tweep thought about the cameraman’s tears and laughter while recording the show while other users sarcastically called Nida the most “intelligent” and “genius” person in Pakistan.

This user was offended by Nida’s blatant ignorance as someone who represents Pakistan on national television. “This is the intelligence and education of a lady who hosts our morning show and makes our nation duffer day by day. Stop watching her shows,” they wrote.

One user felt like it was all planned to get viral. “This is fake, planned ignorance. The aim is going viral which already happened. Women love going viral, going viral is highly addictive and intoxicating, they want it repeatedly. Some women planned harassment and acting foolish to go viral,” read the tweet.
