Nadia Khan Back as Morning Show Host on Dunya TV

Nadia Khan has resumed her hosting career after a year on Dunya News with Eid transmission. On Nadya’s debut show on Dunya News, several showbiz celebrities appeared as guest and a large number of people expressed best wishes for her.

Last year, Dr. Shaista Wahdi had replaced her on Geo TV after Nadia Khan Show was banned in Dubai for six months. Nadia Khan Show on Geo TV telecasted a controversial video of actress Noor and her husband s personal fight which costs NKS the ban by court.

Nadia took the morning show hosting to a new height and enjoyed a great fan following. She is rated as the best morning show host with an acute sense of humor and distinctive spontaneity.

Shaista Wahidi Started a New Morning Show on Geo TV

First of all thanks to Mr. Abu Hamza for pointing out that finally Shaista Wahidi has been spotted on Geo TV hosting a morning show yesterday, which I missed but manged to watch the repeat telecast.

After so many gossips and rumors that something is cooking and Nadia is being replaced & announcements that Sahista will continue hosting GMP (Good morning Pakistan) on ARY etc finally the mystery is resolved. For a refresher let me remind that her brother Sahir Lodhi had hosted the Ramadan special shows for a month on Geo TV earlier this year and now he had also announced that he joined Geo. Family channel now, hmmmm money does wonders.

Seems like tit for tat as Nadia herself moved from ARY to Geo at the time when she was the only one being watched as a morning show host on any satellite channel.

Shaista Wahidi to Continue hosting GMP on ARY

It seems that the things between Dr. Sahista Wahidi and ARY digital are settled down as I witness a ticker of breaking news last night on the channel which states that:

“Good Morning Pakistan with Dr. Shaista in a new style coming soon only on ARY Digital”.

This news was revealed after rumors that there was some tug of war between two media giants over the hosting and ratings of their morning shows. As discussed earlier that Shaista Wahidi will be replacing Nadia Khan on Geo TV morning show.

For a month now, both Geo and ARY were telecasting old episodes of morning shows giving spice to the rumors. While in July Pakistan daily quotes that Shaista Wahidi is leaving her show.

“I don’t want to spend my lifetime, hosting. I should have chosen any other field by now” said Shaista. While asked about the comparison with other morning show, she confessed Nadia Khan to be spontaneous.

They say, “controversy sells”, and when it comes to Nadia Khan there’s no shortage of it. Apart from the regular marketing and publicity gimmicks, Geo has now gone as far as making baseless accusations against renowned people in the society. Geo’s Nadia Khan Show is a major exponent of such publicity stunts where “Miss I’m-Always-Right”, Nadia Khan runs her mouth uncontrollably in order to raise ratings and give people tons of gossip and “masala”. No wonder the show is doing so well, in fact, it is the most watched Pakistani …

Nadia Khan is back to the showbiz arena. An Isloo gal, who within a very short time rose to the pinnacle of much fame, acclaim and success throughout the length and breadth of the land, Nadia gave it all up when she got married to a Dubai based gent.

But she is back on the turf now – this time compering on a local TV channel – after rumours that things on the home front have gone sour. In fact some are even talking of a total severance of her shaadi. …

When Geo TV, a thrusting new channel, ran a teaser campaign this year declaring that “George” was coming to Pakistan, the Islamabad government might have worried.
Why did the Americans not tell them their president was visiting? Was Air Force One circling overhead? Should President Musharraf pull a fresh al-Qaida arrest from his hat?
But there was no reason to worry. Instead of the anti-terror Texan, viewers found George Fulton, a burly and amiable Englishman who became a national celebrity as the star of George ka Pakistan (George’s Pakistan), the nation’s first …
