Who is Nabeel Gabol? The alleged Pakistani politician behind Dhurandhar's character Jameel Jamali The release of Dhurandhar 2 has thrust Pakistani politician Nabeel Gabol into the public eye, as the film’s character Jameel Jamali is alleged to be based on him. Initially, Gabol seemed to embrace the resemblance, but his public demeanor has shifted dramatically since the film’s release. Reports suggest he is now in a state of panic, reportedly avoiding media attention and maintaining a low profile, as the character is portrayed as an Indian spy. Online users have seized the opportunity to mock him, with social media platforms abuzz with jokes and critiques. Nabeel Gabol is a prominent figure in Karachi, representing the Lyari constituency for the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). His political career has been marked by both achievements and controversies. He has held a leadership role in the PPP for over two decades, but his tenure has not been without challenges. In 2013, he left the party after accusing it of neglecting Lyari, a neighborhood he has long advocated for. He briefly joined the MQM before returning to the PPP in 2017, this time alongside his son. Gabol’s recent visibility has been driven by his association with the film, where his likeness was used for the character Jameel Jamali. The film’s portrayal of Jamali as an Indian spy has reportedly unsettled Gabol, leading to his abrupt withdrawal from public engagement. Netizens have taken to social media to highlight the irony of his situation, with many mocking his shift from pride to panic. One user remarked, “He is Nabeel Gabol... basking in its glory... But after Dhurandhar 2... he has suddenly gone into full panic mode.” Another joked, “From flex to panic real quick... don’t be surprised if Pak Army picks him up.#lyari #karachi #dhurandhar_2 #nabeel_gabol #pakistan_people_s_party
