Actor Rajesh Kumar, who played the character of ‘Rosesh’ in the show Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, recreated a video made by Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who he addressed as ‘Rosesh of Pakistan.’
In the video uploaded on Instagram, Kumar was seen saying, in the voice of the character Rosesh, “Kon raat ke andhere me hamle karte hai, chor raat ke andhere me hamle karte hai, buzdil raat ke andhere me hamle karte hai...agar inme himmat hoti toh yeh subah aate (who attacks at night, robbers attack at night, cowards attack at night, if they had courage, they would have come in the day).”

"Ting tong karte aur kahte bhaiya aane do (would ring the bell and say brother, let me come)," Mr Kumar added, in imitation of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's viral speech about Operation Sindoor in Pakistan's parliament.
Earlier, social media users had noticed a resemblance between Zardari's speech and Rosesh's style of speaking, becoming the subject of several memes online. This prompted Rajesh Kumar to make the humorous video “on public demand”.
Rajesh's Instagram video has amassed over 1.6 million views so far. He posted the viral video alongside the caption: “ON PUBLIC DEMAND…..welcome Hon Rosesh of Pakistan.”
