The iconic actor's mimicry act, which garnered much attention and appreciation from the audience, shed light on the myriad of problems faced by Ekman.



Lahore (Urdu Point Latest News. May 30, 2023) Pakistan's Dutch hockey coach Siegfried Ekman resigned from his position last week after being disappointed with his salary from the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) for 14 months. That truly represented the dire situation of the country's national sport.

 The situation took an unexpected turn when popular actor Sohail Ahmed dedicated a segment in his show on a popular TV channel, where he impersonated Aikman and highlighted the deep problems facing the PHF.

Sohail Ahmed's mime act, which garnered much attention and appreciation from the audience, shed light on the numerous problems faced by Aikman during his reign. The actor's comic portrayal served as a stark reminder of the managerial and financial mismanagement within the PHF that led to the initial decline of the national game and Ekman's eventual resignation.

Aikman's departure along with Sohail Ahmed's portrayal has brought to the fore the urgent need for accountability and transparency within the PHF. 

The Mimicry Act not only resonated with the general public but also caught the attention of hockey fans and sports analysts, which, in turn, highlighted the problems within the PHF. Despite the heavy criticism of the PHF, there is not much hope for improvement in the management of the federation. However, the focus should be on ensuring the long-term stability and growth of Pakistan hockey, and one can only hope that this incident will act as an antidote to positive change within the federation.
