You won't believe who's the most searched person in Pakistan

Local celebs came second to Bollywood in 2017, according to Google searches
Updated 14 Dec, 2017

Desi people everywhere may be studying medicine or engineering, but there's no denying our hearts lie in sports and arts. And this is evident from the Google's Year in Search 2017.

Google released lists containing most searched people, news and events, based on search terms that had a high spike in traffic in 2017 as compared to 2016.

Pakistan's top ten searches yielded some interesting results. Check them out.


Top ten people

1) Fabiha Sherazi

The model gained popularity when she joined team Jeeto Pakistan as one of Fahad Mustafa's assistants. Who'd have thought she'd top the list!

2) Nadeem Sarwar

Nadeem Sarwar is a religious orator who's known for his recitation of nauhay.

3) Fakhar Zaman

After making his One Day International (ODI) debut in Pakistan vs South Africa, Fakhar Zaman became a favourite cricket player of many.

4) Rishi Kapoor

The Bollywood actor made quite a few headlines in 2017, what with his tweets and banter about the ICC cricket tournament.

5) Rida Isfahani

Upcoming TV actor Rida Isfahani had some notable projects to her credit this year, like ARY's Jatan.

6) Faryal Makhdoom

Faryal Makhdoom was all over social media with her break-up and make-up with husband, British Pakistani boxer Amir Khan, so it makes sense that Pakistanis want to look her up every now and then.

7) Javed Afridi

The owner of the Peshawari Zalmis won everyone's hearts when he announced that all the foreign players of his team will participate in the Pakistan Super League.

8) Ahad Raza Mir

Dr. Asfi. Need we say more?

9) Hania Amir

It was a good year overall for Hania Amir but it was a Snapchat post gone wrong that got her more searches than one would expect.

10) Momina Mustehsan

Momina has been in the spotlight ever since her Coke Studio debut, so it makes sense that Pakistaniss would be typing her name on Google ever so often.

That's not all! Google also showed Pakistan's top ten searches! Have a look:


Top ten searches

@Salman There is no (and must not be any) merit in this regard. Its simple count of words search.

@Shyam Kokku with quality evergreen Pak dramas and rebirth of Pak cinema, this is changing slowly but surely for the better.

Besides roles in film or tv or even modeling people are crazy about daily life . If both are attractive, the celebrity is up, otherwise so so.
