Dananeer Mobeen (Born: 27 December 1999[2] ; Urdu: دنانیر مبین) is a Pakistani traveler and vlogger who came to fame after a video known by the title Pawri Ho Rahi Hai[3] that went viral on social media in both Pakistan[4][5][6] and India.[7][8][9]

In February 2021, Mobeen on a trip to Nathia Gali with her friends made a short video portraying a light-hearted mocking of "burger people",[10] a slang in Pakistan[11] for people who imitate an accent or try to emulate Western culture,[12][13] and saying "Yē hamārī car hai, aur yē ham hain aur yē hamārī pawrī hō raī hai!"[14][15] The video went viral on social media and started a meme trend by people and celebrities joining the bandwagon by making videos.[16][17] The video also became viral in India after Yashraj Mukhate's composition, and in both the countries.[18][19]

Early life[edit]

Dananeer Mobeen was born on 27 December 2001 in Islamabad,[20] Pakistan, her childhood education was in Islamabad,[21] but then she completed her schooling in Peshawar, Pakistan[22][23] and currently completing her graduation in Peshawar.[24][25]

Personal life[edit]

Dananeer Mobeen[lower-alpha 1] was born into a well-settled army family to Mobeen Ahmed an army officer and Gul Mobeen a chef by profession.[27][28][29][30] She has a elder sister[31] and an older brother.[32][33]

Career[edit]

Early Influencer[edit]

In early 2021, prior to her rise to stardom, Dananeer Mobeen was a 19-year-old student hailing from Peshawar, Pakistan.[34] She operated an Instagram account as an influencer, amassing approximately 1 lakh followers.[35][36] On this platform, she showcased photoshoots and videos focused on fashion, makeup, and a range of other subjects.[37][38][39]

Breakthrough: #PawriHoraiHai[40][edit]

On 6 February 2021, Mobeen uploaded a four-second video in Nathia Gali during an outing with friends. In the clip, she filmed her car, companions, and herself, saying in Hindi: "Yē hamārī car hai, yē hama haiṁ, aura yē hamārī pawri hō rahī hai",[41] which translates to "This is our car, this is us, and this is our party (happening)." The term "pawri" was a playful mispronunciation of the English word "party,"[42] poking fun at a demographic in Pakistan referred to as "Burgers".[lower-alpha 3] She had recorded the video a month prior and shared it on Instagram with the hashtag #PawriHoraiHai.[lower-alpha 4][42]

In the days following its release, the video garnered over 27 lakh views, giving rise to the viral catchphrase "पॉरी हो रही है" meme. Indian music producer Yashraj Mukhate sampled the audio for his own viral video, further spreading the meme in India.[34][38][44][45] Celebrities, companies, and politicians from both Pakistan and India incorporated the phrase into marketing materials and public campaigns. This viral moment earned Mobeen the nickname "Pawri girl", and her follower count surged to 10 lakh, leading to numerous acting offers.[46][47][48]

Later in February, Dananeer Mobeen was appointed as a brand ambassador for Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League, aligning herself with notable public figures such as Mahira Khan and Esra Bilgiç. In addition, she received a nomination at the 2nd Pakistan International Screen Awards later that year for the title of Most Entertaining Instagram Celebrity.[49]

Dananeer Mobeen made her television debut in the ISPR-co-produced series “Sinf-e-Aahan” (2021–2022), where she portrayed the character of Syeda Sidra. In 2023, she took on a lead role as Zobia in the romantic drama series “Muhabbat Gumshuda Meri”, produced by MD Productions. The following year, she starred in another MD Productions series titled “Very Filmy”. She continued her successful streak with a lead role in “Meem Se Mohabbat”, also produced by MD Productions.

Additionally, in 2022, Mobeen lent her voice to the ISPR-co-produced animated series “Team Muhafiz”.
