Gillani has done his Master of Arts (M.A) in Urdu and History. His mission as his personal bio states is Justice and working for Humanity and self-esteem. His political views as he would put it are ‘moderate’. He is very open about his political stance and shares the reason why he joined PTI through a social platform saying, “I do believe that a just and fair society can be built only on the foundations of justice. PTI is the only party, striving hard to establish this fact on the ground. Because of this ideology and the chairman’s inspirational leadership spirit, I joined the party. Chairman Imran Khan’s actions are quite evidently louder than words, unlike any other politician. I am trying hard and will put all my efforts for the growth and betterment of PTI and Pakistan.”

He has become famous amongst a lot of people in a very short span of time and is also loved by many because of his untiring efforts in favor of the people and the country. He is a great advocate of planting more trees and making Pakistan green, he actively shares how planting more trees will be highly beneficial for the people in so many ways, including how barren land would also mean purifying water will become harder and slower hence we should plant more trees and refrain from cutting the existing ones.
