Following the terrible take on Formula One in 2021, breakfast show anchor Nida Yasir is again in the spotlight for her lack of knowledge of our country’s cricket history.
Nida and Shaista Lodhi made a special appearance on The Shoaib Akhtar Show, hosted by the former cricketer, in the debut episode of the streaming portal UrduFlix.
During the show, the ‘Rawalpindi Express’ asked Nida a tricky question: “When did Pakistan win the 1992 World Cup?” Nida was perplexed, and she responded with “2006?” before Shaista whispered the correct answer to her, “1992.”

Feeling more confident after Shaista’s help, Yasir turned back to Akhtar and asked him to repeat the question. This time, he asked, “When did Pakistan win the World Cup in 2009?” to which Nida confidently responded with “1992.”
Shaista laughed and told Nida to pay heed to the question.
As a result, what initially seemed like a humorous situation started to become less funny for Nida as she realized how incorrect her answers were.

Many people took to social media to poke fun at Nida’s lack of knowledge, including Yasir Hussain, who jokingly commented, “If someone has been waking up early in the morning for so many years, their mind can only work this much.”
Kubra Khan also recreated it in Fahad Mustafa’s show:

But Nida has now offered a response, sharing on her Instagram story: “What did I do wrong anyway? People often forget important dates like their birthdays or wedding anniversaries, among other things. I know that many are struggling with the current situation and if my mistake has brought a moment of amusement, then I encourage you to laugh wholeheartedly.”
She continued, “With God’s protection, nobody can harm us. I am grateful for the unwavering support and love from my fans. That’s why my motto is peeche hut (back off)!”
