US ESTA Question confusion
I had applied for US visit visa back in 2011 from the UK but it was refused as I didn't have strong ties.
Last year I applied again for business purpose and was approved the visa in less than 15 minutes.
I have valid B1/B2 visa for 5 years in my Pakistani passport
I didn't travel as circumstanses changed.
Now I have acquired UK citizenship and hold UK passport. I am plannin to visit US for tourism purpose. As a british citizen I can apply for ESTA but I am confused what should I put in the question here
Have you ever been denied a U.S. visa or entry into the U.S. or had a
U.S. visa canceled?
Should I yes ? If I mention yes will it automatically reject my ESTA.
Any help will be apreciated.

You should answer yes. All the questions are about you, not your passport or nationality, so becoming a UK citizen does not change the fact that you were previously denied a visa.
Your best option is to apply for a B-2 visa. It's an expensive hassle, but based on what you've told us it's highly likely to get approved, and it's much better than getting busted for lying on the ESTA application form.

But I already have B1/B2 Visa in my Pakistan passport which is valid for 5 years. Should I use that to travel? If I decide to apply for ESTA and its rejected will it void my current visa in my pakistan passport too?
