Now, Chand Nawab’s viral video ‘Karachi Se’ is up for auction as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) on the Foundation app. The bid, price you may ask? Well, the minimum bid price to purchase the Pakistan journalist’s viral video is 20 Ethereum tokens or USD 63,604.20 (which is Rs 10 Million approximately).

In 2008, a video of me surfaced on YouTube in which I fumbled while reporting Eid Festival frenzy at a Railway station. While reporting, I was contently interrupted by people, my fumbling and constant irritation made this video viral getting millions of views on YouTube and Facebook.”
