A mock test of the Inter-Services Selection Board (ISSB), the institution that is responsible for selecting commissioned officers for the armed forces of Pakistan, which includes the Army, Navy, and Air Force, has gone viral as it features a bizarre question on Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif.
In the video, a former Pakistan Army officer who runs the 'World Times Forces Academy' asks a candidate about his favourite Bollywood actor.
Although official coaching for the ISSB tests is not allowed, several private academies, mostly run by retired military personnel, offer preparatory courses.
According to NDTV, the former Pakistan army officer has been identified as Sarmad Muhammad Khan.
He asks the candidate who his favourite actor is to which the former responds, “Dur-e-Fishan Saleem.”
“Who is your favourite heroine in Bollywood,” he asks to which the candidate responds saying “Katrina Kaif.”
"India is planning an attack on Pakistan, and Katrina Kaif has the information on how we can stop them. You went there, and you have to get the information from Katrina Kaif. And she told you to have some relation with her, then she can provide you with the information. What you will do," Khan asks.
“Sir, obviously for the country's protection, I have to do such type of thing,” says the candidate.
He then asks if the candidate would have a similar relationship with a man named Gul Khan from Afghanistan for information. When the candidate asks "What kind of relationship," Khan snaps at him, asking "Is this your character?"
