If you ever wondered how much Jibran Nasir pays his barber, well, wonder no more.

The NA-247 hopeful posted photos of himself on Facebook filing his nomination papers with the caption:

"Returning Officer was surprised glancing over my asset statement remarking "you almost have none". I replied the assets we need to bring change are found in character not in the bank." — Jibran Nasir

While many of his supporters responded to his post with words of encouragement, one Facebook user asked:

"Lol, nothing. Right. Who pays for all the travel and and cases and dresses and beard trimming?" — Eqbal Khan

To everyone's amusement, Nasir responded with details about his shalwar kameez and barber costs:

Good to see candidates engaging with voters (and that they have a funnybone).
