After watching videos of journalists reporting from knee-deep water, fighting on national television, sitting on a donkey while reporting about animal trade, confusing Apple company for the fruit, and giving retakes live just to get everything right, I think it's safe to say that Pakistani media is a global treasure.

You can love them, hate them, even laugh at them, but you can never ignore them - that's Pakistani media for you. And journalists like Chand Nawab are 'gems' of reporting who are teaching us something new every single day.  

While Chand Nawab is still an all-time-favourite for people on both sides of the border, there is another journalist who is now catching up with Nawab's hilarious dedication - Amin Hafeez.

Amin Hafeez is the same guy who earlier went viral for interviewing the cattle and then sitting on a donkey while reporting about animal trade. This time around, he took his dedication a notch higher by dressing up as an emperor and giving PTC (Piece To Camera) for Geo News, Lahore.

If you thought this video was funny, here's the final cut and please keep your water or tea/coffee aside because chances are you'll spit it out while watching this. He wasn't just dressed as an emperor, but he even spoke like a king (or so he thought) to make the reporting look more genuine.

Here is the final cut... as received from my friend Amin Hafeez himself. This is Cool ð https://t.co/WmNQItByQS pic.twitter.com/DAepMjiS0U

As expected, people can't stop laughing over this video. In fact, there are a few tweets from Indian journalists who were contemplating about doing something like this. Yes, please! We need such enthusiasm and passion on Indian television.

This is going to happen on Indian tv news soon. I can't believe we haven't done it yet https://t.co/M3FWAIKw2h

Such innovative & brilliant news TV. Shape of things to come for us too, I suppose. On news TV nuttiness, what Pakistan thinks today India thinks tomorrow. https://t.co/IX7Z9e38xt

Our Sudarshan News has already played out a similar script. India is clearly ahead here too!;) https://t.co/a75R6ybRtK

Reminding me of Indian journalists in space suits, police and army uniforms. A neck to neck race in the news world of the bizarre. https://t.co/XKVUndc1e5
