Description:
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan turned 70 yesterday as birthday wishes poured in from around the world.
The PTI chief celebrated his birthday in an intimate ceremony held in Lahore where he cut a cake in the presence of other party leaders and a handful of supporters.
After the birthday party, PTI shared a video of the event on various social media platforms. While the video shows Imran Khan in good spirits, netizens have pointed out the price of the cake which is confusing to many.
Some netizens pointed out that Imran Khan cut a two-pound black forest cake from a renowned bakery, with the cake costing under Rs. 2000. They appreciated that unlike his political rivals who spend a fortune on birthday parties, Imran Khan preferred to celebrate his birthday in a simple way.
Imran Khan was born on October 5, 1952 and made his debut in 1971. He last donned the green shirt in the World Cup triumph in 1992. Two years later in 1994, Imran Khan inaugurated the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Center.
