Asim Mahmood Finds 100 Pounds in Jacket Bought from Second-Hand Market

Islamabad:Renowned Pakistani actor and host Asim Mahmood recently shared an interesting anecdote from his past, revealing that he once found 100 pounds in a jacket he bought from a second-hand market.

Asim Mahmood appeared as a guest on a private TV morning show, where he discussed various topics and shared a memorable story from his college days. He recalled that during winters, his college allowed students to wear blue sweaters, coats, or jackets. As the cold weather intensified, he decided to ask his parents to buy him a blue sweater or jacket.

He further shared that he had completed his B.Com from Government College of Commerce in Sialkot, which was near a second-hand market (Landa Bazaar). One day, while browsing through the market, he found a jacket he liked and decided to buy it. The jacket had several pockets, and the shopkeeper initially asked for 150 rupees, but Asim managed to buy it for just 100 rupees.

When he got home, he put the jacket in the washing machine and after drying it, began ironing it. To his surprise, he discovered a hidden pocket inside the jacket. With the hope of finding dollars, he opened it and was astonished to find 100 pounds instead.

The next day, Asim exchanged the 100 pounds at a currency dealer and received 9,000 rupees in return. He used the money to throw a party with his friends, bought some items for his home, and spent the rest on shopping. Asim recalled that at the time, his weekly pocket money was about 500 rupees, and finding the 100-pound note made him incredibly happy.
