Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed, spokesperson for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), has become the most searched personality in Pakistan amid heightened tensions with India. According to Google Trends, searches for “Aurangzeb” peaked at 2:00 AM on May 12, 2025, reaching the highest possible score of 100.
His sharp rise in popularity is attributed to his composed media presence and viral moments, including a quip referencing Pakistan’s reported aerial dominance: “PAF vs IAF, 6-nil.” This statement followed Pakistan’s claims of downing six Indian aircraft in response to Indian military aggression earlier in May.

Ahmed revealed that the PAF conducted its largest coordinated airstrike on Indian airfields since the 1971 war, deliberately avoiding civilian targets while neutralizing military threats. The operation, dubbed “Bunyan-un-Marsoos,” was launched after Indian strikes killed multiple civilians in Pakistan.
Public interest also spiked in terms like “JF-17 Thunder,” “DG ISPR,” and “Dassault Aviation share price,” while Indian searches were dominated by “Ceasefire meaning” and “Operation Sindoor,” highlighting the broader regional impact.
