A mock interview from a Pakistani civil service preparation institute has gone viral, drawing widespread criticism for its inappropriate content. The video, which has been making rounds on social media, shows an interviewer asking a civil service aspirant questions that have left many viewers shocked and appalled.
In the video, the interviewer begins by asking the candidate about his favourite actress, to which the aspirant responds with "Dur-e-Fishan Saleem." The line of questioning then takes an uncomfortable turn as the interviewer asks the candidate which body part of the actress he admires most. The candidate, visibly uneasy, initially mentions her eyes. However, the interviewer presses him further, insisting on an answer involving a body part below the neck. After some hesitation, the candidate reluctantly says that he likes her hands.
The questioning doesn’t stop there. The interviewer then asks about the candidate's favourite Indian actress, to which the aspirant names Katrina Kaif. This leads to a bizarre hypothetical scenario where the interviewer asks what the candidate would do if he had to obtain critical information from Katrina Kaif to prevent a nuclear attack on Pakistan. The interviewer states that the only way to acquire this information is by entering into a "relationship" with her. The candidate, seemingly cornered, responds, "Sir, obviously, for the country's protection, I have to do such type of things."
The interviewer then expresses surprise, questioning, “You will have a relationship with Katrina Kaif?”
These videos, though initially shared some time ago, have recently resurfaced and gained traction online, sparking widespread backlash. Social media users have criticised the inappropriate nature of the questions, with many expressing disbelief over the content of the mock interview.

Similarly, user Ravi Gupta questioned the seriousness of the process, asking, "Are they seriously preparing for a top government job?"
