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. …

Well, well, well! Noor has decided to quit movies for good and restrict herself to only television.
Quite a surprise move considering that the gal has been active in the bright lights and dark alleys of Lollywood for simply ages - having started off as a successful child artiste and then graduating to adult roles of a heroine - though not really acquiring the stardom of her peers like Reema, Meera, Sana etc.
despite the initial flash that she displayed in her first few outings as a leading lady. Anyway, it seems …

Actress par excellence Nadia Jameel has always cruised through life first class. As she stares at her reflection she reminds me of Shakespeare’s character Portia
Seeing you perform onscreen is simply terrific. Does acting come as naturally to you as it seems to us as viewers?
I always felt that I had this thing in me. At school, I got this opportunity to improve my gestures and attain a great deal of voice control. It was when I joined Madiha Gauhar and Ajoka that I got the real kind of exposure and …

What does your work mean to you?
I wouldn’t know what to do if not do what I do!
