Comedian Ali Gul Pir has become famous overnight after his music video ‘ Waderai ka beta’ was uploaded on YouTube and garnered half a million hits in less than a week.

“It’s not just political, it’s social. It’s in synch with the times we live in,” says Pir about his video.

Watch Dawn.com's interview with Pir to learn more about what the young comedian was thinking when he wrote the famous lyrics 'Saeen tau Saeen' as well as his upcoming projects.

Without a doubt, Ali Gul Pir is the bomb, but the interviewer+interview structure were really disappointing (by DAWN's standards). Even an interview that's purposefully impromptu merits some structure and preparation; content-wise, these few minutes could've been far better utilised, with more insightful questions.

Yes ali gul pir is a comedian, we agree but this doesn't mean to conduct an interview in a way which seems like it is either unedited or done in a total unprofessional way. Not a DAWN standard
