Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed, spokesperson for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), has swiftly climbed the ranks of online fame to become one of the most searched names in Pakistan. As of May 12, 2025, Google Trends reported a sharp spike in interest for “Aurangzeb,” peaking at 2:00 AM with a perfect score of 100—the highest recorded during the week; this surge coincides with escalating military tensions between Pakistan and India, during which Ahmed emerged as the face of the PAF in high-stakes press briefings.
Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed Becomes Top Google Search in Pakistan
The keyword “Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed” has remained on social media and search engines ever since, owing not only to his military role but also his composed public persona and sharp wit during briefings. His now-viral quip—“I will pick up from where I left, day before yesterday, PAF vs IAF, 6-nil”—referencing Pakistan’s claimed takedown of six Indian aircraft, has captured public imagination and sealed his place as a national icon in the digital age.
Pakistan’s Gen Z Crowns Their New Hero
What sets AVM Aurangzeb apart from conventional military figures is his unexpected resonance with Gen Z. From X (formerly Twitter) to TikTok, the youth have dubbed him everything from “pookie”—a term of endearment—to the embodiment of “main character energy.” Users also joked, “You can’t spell Aurangzeb without aura,” emphasizing his commanding presence.
Social media slang has exploded in his favor. He’s been praised for his “rizz” (charisma), “drip” (style), and even accused—lovingly—of “cooking” the opposition during press conferences. One user humorously claimed the war narrative had been “hijacked by the rizz of this dude Aurangzeb.” Others speculated that he must have an alt Twitter account given his roasting skills, particularly after he referred to an Indian jet with the callsign “Godzilla” as “extinct.”
The charm offensive didn’t stop at memes. Ahmed’s balance of professionalism and subtle trolling has turned routine military briefings into viral events. Terms like “Islamabad Airport,” “JF-17 Thunder,” and “DG ISPR” have trended alongside his name, showing how deeply his influence runs.
