00:00Asalam-o-Alaikum, I am Ashfaq Ishaq Sati and I wish you and your family a very happy Eid.
00:20Today we have a special show for Eid and we will talk about politics.
00:25Normally we talk about politics but on Eid, we try to know how our politicians, anchors and commentators spend their Eid.
00:37How do they celebrate and what do they talk about in their shows?
00:41How do they spend their Eid?
00:43And do they get a chance to prepare for Eid or not?
00:45So without wasting further time, let me introduce our guests.
00:49Mr. Irshad Bhatti, thank you so much for your time.
00:52Ms. Gareeda Farooqui, you look beautiful.
00:55And you came prepared for Eid.
00:57Mr. Kiran Naaz, thank you so much for being here.
00:59And Mr. Athar Kazmi, thank you so much.
01:02And happy Eid to everyone.
01:04Asalam-o-Alaikum.
01:05Happy Eid to you too.
01:07Mr. Bhatti, how was your Eid?
01:09First of all, happy Eid to you and to everyone.
01:12May Allah make everyone's Eid, Eid.
01:14Ameen.
01:15Normally, children spend their Eid at home.
01:20Eid.
01:21Sweets.
01:22And there are goats and sheep.
01:24It takes a lot of hard work.
01:26Yes, it takes a lot of hard work.
01:28So obviously, Eid is celebrated inside the house.
01:31Left and right.
01:32Hmm.
01:33So, the Farsh-e-Shalware.
01:37Farsh-e-Shalware?
01:38Yes, I was listening to this before the show started.
01:41Farsh-e-Shalware is a big thing.
01:43Farsh-e-Shalware and Eid.
01:44Farsh-e-Eid has passed.
01:45Have you also prepared for Farsh-e-Eid?
01:47No, I am also thinking about it.
01:49You are thinking about it.
01:50Yes, I am thinking about it.
01:51For Farsh-e-Eid.
01:52So, Gareeda, tell us about you.
01:53MashaAllah, you have come fully prepared.
01:55It is said that Eid lasts till childhood.
01:57But I think that the aspect of women's preparations,
02:00they always put in a lot of effort to get ready.
02:03Unlike men.
02:04Is it true?
02:05Unlike men?
02:06Yes.
02:07Really?
02:08That's what you are saying?
02:09Yes.
02:10Comparatively.
02:11MashaAllah.
02:12In Ramadan, Pakistan has been a victim of some unfortunate incidents.
02:18And those who have been martyred in this,
02:20civilians and security forces,
02:22we should remember all of them on Eid.
02:25We should pray for them.
02:27They give martyrdoms and sacrifices.
02:30So, we should celebrate Eid.
02:31And we should consider ourselves safe.
02:33Yes, we should consider ourselves safe.
02:34And the rest of Eid, you are praising it again and again.
02:36Thank you so very much.
02:37You have invited us to the program.
02:39Obviously, it is an Eid program.
02:40So, we should celebrate Eid.
02:41Without a doubt.
02:42And does the preparation take as much time as a girl or a woman normally takes?
02:492-3 hours maximum?
02:51Minimum perhaps?
02:52Kiran is like this.
02:532-3 hours?
02:55More.
02:56More.
02:57No, for women, first of all, Eid Mubarak to you.
03:00JazakAllah.
03:01Thank you so much.
03:02Eid Mubarak to your viewers.
03:03Absolutely.
03:04Eid for women starts with a lot of time.
03:06Like whenever Gareeda and I met,
03:08she used to ask me, have you made Farshi Shalwar?
03:11What is this Farshi Shalwar?
03:13For me, Gareeda's talk is like a command.
03:16So, I said, okay, I will make it.
03:18Before your show started, Bhatti sahab caught what was happening.
03:22So, I was asking him if I should make it.
03:25But I have seen the pictures of 1960s.
03:27In which a man with such small shirts is wearing such big Farshi Shalwar.
03:31So, we will also wear it.
03:32It is necessary that we will wear it.
03:33So, should I not wear it this time?
03:36You should get the trend.
03:37So, will this society forgive me?
03:39God will forgive you.
03:41Mr. Ghazmi, Eid Mubarak to you.
03:43Eid Mubarak to you too.
03:45So, how is Eid going on?
03:47Look at the mention of Farshi Shalwar.
03:50So, do you also follow fashion trends?
03:52No, I don't follow so many trends.
03:54But what I am hearing is that whether the clothes are short or long, that is fashion.
03:59So, I have decided that I will give my clothes to Bhatti sahab.
04:02And Bhatti sahab will wear his clothes.
04:04In my opinion, our fashion will match.
04:06The idea is not bad.
04:08So, we will mix Arshi and Farshi.
04:12So, will it be acceptable for the public?
04:15No, I accept it.
04:16And when we accept it, the public should also accept it.
04:19So, different trends keep coming and we have to follow them.
04:22But tell me one thing that this is a very busy life.
04:25And especially yours is that not only do you do Tajjiyagari,
04:29but along with that you are also doing podcasts and interviews.
04:34So, how do you manage time for yourself?
04:37How do you take out time?
04:38My family says that they don't have time.
04:42Obviously, they have problems.
04:44They have complaints.
04:46Especially my two children.
04:48They have a lot of complaints.
04:50But obviously, I like to work.
04:54I like to prepare for any program.
04:57Some podcast, some interview.
04:59We have two great thinkers sitting in front of us.
05:03Atar Bhai has also done a great job in a short time.
05:08So, I like to do it.
05:10I want to see how it feels to ask questions.
05:13First, you have to answer the questions.
05:15So, it feels good.
05:16But it is very interesting that you are learning a lot.
05:19I have not started doing that with politicians yet.
05:23We are going to Ulema-e-Karam.
05:25It was Ramadan.
05:27But you said a very beautiful thing.
05:29The martyrs, the civilians who lost their lives.
05:34Without a doubt.
05:35They are definitely missing their loved ones on this Eid.
05:39Sir, we appreciate your sacrifices.
05:41May Allah bless you all.
05:43Your Eids, we are with you.
05:47And we are celebrating our Eid because of you.
05:49So, I like to ask questions.
05:53These three anchors must be tired of asking questions.
05:59No, no.
06:00Do they ever get tired?
06:02Does it get boring?
06:03No, no.
06:04Every day, a new passion arises.
06:05Exactly.
06:06And when your job is your passion.
06:11Then you are not tired at all.
06:13It's been ages now.
06:14It's been years and many years now that you are doing this work.
06:17There is no other work.
06:19If you do any other work, you will fail.
06:22There is a beautiful couplet.
06:24You will fail in love.
06:26It's coming out of my mind now.
06:29Tell me the meaning.
06:30Read it.
06:31Don't take the name of a poet.
06:32I have made a mistake once.
06:36You will fail in love.
06:38There is no other work.
06:40This is the meaning.
06:42If we don't do journalism, what else can we do?
06:44There is no other work.
06:45So, it's a passion.
06:46And it's not a 9 to 5 job.
06:48It's a 24 to 7 job.
06:50Whoever wants to come in this profession.
06:52Nowadays, when I meet youngsters,
06:55there is a glamour for them.
06:57We want to be an anchor person.
06:59People look for shortcuts.
07:01There is a glamour nowadays.
07:03Everybody is a YouTuber.
07:06Everybody is a social media star.
07:08Whoever has a phone, they become one.
07:10Elon Musk said that there are 5 billion cleaners.
07:13He said that all of them are clean.
07:14But it's true that when you meet,
07:17there is a glamour for TV.
07:19No matter how big your YouTube channel is,
07:22the income of a TV channel is the same as that of a YouTuber.
07:26But the glamour for TV is a different kind of passion.
07:29And in that passion, all of us are included.
07:33There is a saying that
07:35even if we forgive, we get defamed.
07:37Even if we kill, there is no discussion.
07:40So, even if they say a line, they become famous.
07:42Yes.
07:43It's like that.
07:44Even if we forgive, we get defamed.
07:46So, even if they say a line, they become famous.
07:48I will disagree with this.
07:50You talk first.
07:51Then I will answer.
07:52If you allow me.
07:53Credibility matters.
07:54Yes.
07:55Exactly.
07:56I was about to say that
07:57the things that come on social media,
07:59they come and go.
08:00Yes.
08:01But Alhamdulillah,
08:02the people who have been working for years,
08:04they have credibility and sustain.
08:07And that is why we are here.
08:09That is why we are here.
08:10Mr. Kazmi, how does Eid pass?
08:12I mean, like,
08:13what's the difference?
08:14Now, Mashallah,
08:15in adulthood,
08:16before that,
08:17in childhood Eid and now,
08:18what is the difference?
08:19Before, you used to take Eid,
08:20now you have to give it?
08:21Or what else has changed?
08:22No, this is it.
08:23Before, Eid was given in childhood.
08:24Now, Eid is difficult.
08:252-3 times,
08:26I have hinted to Mr. Bhatti
08:27in conversations.
08:28But till now, he has not given.
08:29Mr. Bhatti has checked his identity card.
08:30I hope that
08:31by the end of the program,
08:33my elder brothers will do a favor.
08:35Yes, because I agree with him.
08:37At the end of the program,
08:38Eid is also given.
08:39Eid is also given.
08:40Again.
08:41In childhood,
08:42there was excitement
08:43to get Eid,
08:44to go out,
08:45to spend it.
08:46Now,
08:47Eid is given to children.
08:48And the family,
08:49mainly,
08:50preparation is done
08:51for the children,
08:52for the wife.
08:53For us,
08:54only those clothes
08:55are available,
08:56we wear them
08:57and that's it.
08:58How much Eid
08:59would Mr. Bhatti
09:00have got in childhood?
09:01My childhood was also
09:02with Qaid-e-Azam.
09:03So,
09:04you would have got in coming.
09:05Yes,
09:06no,
09:07but,
09:08I think,
09:09once,
09:10my maximum was Rs. 500.
09:11That too,
09:12for 10-10 notes.
09:13Really?
09:14Yes.
09:15I had got Rs. 1000
09:16and that too,
09:17for 7-8-9 people.
09:18I have got Rs. 1000
09:19after collecting,
09:20so,
09:21I think,
09:22I couldn't sleep at night.
09:23Ashfaq,
09:24don't you go to your in-laws?
09:25No,
09:26it depends,
09:27if I get a chance,
09:28then why not.
09:29Don't you get Eid from there?
09:30You should get more.
09:31From childhood,
09:32from childhood.
09:33They gave such a big Eid,
09:34such a big Eid,
09:35after that also Eid.
09:36So,
09:37tell me that,
09:38what I was telling,
09:39and that too,
09:40for 10-10 notes.
09:41And,
09:42the mothers,
09:43they have a wish,
09:44that they will get Eid from you,
09:45immediately.
09:46Son,
09:47you will lose it.
09:48I said,
09:49mother,
09:50we won't let this happen.
09:51So,
09:52has this ever happened
09:53with you?
09:54No,
09:55this has never happened
09:56with me.
09:57When,
09:58when I was a child,
09:59when I was a small child,
10:00then,
10:01I think,
10:02it starts with
10:0310-10 Rs. Eid,
10:04then it increases
10:05to 100 Rs.
10:06Along with your age,
10:07your Eid parameter
10:08in teenage,
10:09early twenties,
10:10that was 15,000,
10:11at a stretch.
10:12Oh,
10:13very nice.
10:14So,
10:15after that,
10:16my parents died.
10:17So,
10:18this is very memorable for me,
10:19that it was a maximum Eid.
10:20So,
10:21at that time,
10:22there was a lot of enthusiasm,
10:23that now we have grown up,
10:24that we have got a big Eid.
10:25So,
10:26in childhood,
10:27you have a lot of
10:28interest in growing up.
10:29Then,
10:30when you grow up,
10:31you remember your childhood.
10:32So,
10:33but Eid really
10:34is of childhood.
10:35Do you give Eid?
10:36I am the youngest among the siblings.
10:37So,
10:38a lot of Eid comes together.
10:39But yes,
10:40the children of the siblings,
10:41the children of the cousins,
10:42when they come together,
10:43then we give them.
10:44So,
10:45according to the age,
10:46till date,
10:47according to the age bracket,
10:48according to the age of the person,
10:49no one takes 10 Rs. nowadays.
10:50Yes,
10:51no one takes 100 Rs.
10:52Who will take?
10:53Even if you give it to someone
10:54on the signal,
10:55they will return it.
10:56500 Rs.
10:57And
10:58once or twice,
10:59it has happened that
11:00they have
11:016 cats,
11:02I think.
11:035.
11:04So,
11:05what Eid do they give?
11:06Means,
11:07what difference do you make on Eid?
11:08I give them treats.
11:09Yes,
11:10treats.
11:11My love for them is Eid.
11:12Do you prepare them?
11:13No,
11:14I am a true animal lover.
11:15So,
11:16I believe
11:17that you should not
11:18decorate your animals.
11:19They are natural.
11:20You should keep them
11:21as they are.
11:22Because when you decorate them,
11:23you make them wear clothes,
11:24you make them wear bows,
11:25you make them wear caps,
11:26they feel uncomfortable.
11:27And they can't relate to that.
11:28Yes,
11:29because it is their instinct.
11:30They are naturally
11:31not born like that.
11:32To wear clothes,
11:33or wear caps,
11:34or wear bows,
11:35or wear something else,
11:36like a tinkling thing.
11:37So,
11:38I prepare them.
11:39And the other one,
11:40the cats...
11:41They don't look good.
11:42If you go somewhere,
11:43they will wear cat shawls.
11:44Imagine,
11:45you are wearing cat shawls,
11:46with a small shirt,
11:47and you will not be able to say,
11:48you didn't find it?
11:49And then I will turn
11:50like a buyer,
11:51and ask,
11:52was it right to wear it,
11:53or did you make them wear it?
11:54Why are you asking me?
11:55By the way,
11:56men should also start
11:57wearing cat shawls.
11:58I mean,
11:59you should start wearing it.
12:00You should wear it.
12:01You should wear it.
12:02You should wear it.
12:03You should wear it.
12:04You should wear it.
12:05You should wear it.
12:06You should wear it.
12:07No, you have already done
12:08both of them.
12:09We have already changed.
12:10I will also think now.
12:11Kiran,
12:12tell me,
12:13how many Eidi
12:14did you collect
12:15and how many
12:16and how many
12:17do you still get?
12:18By the way,
12:19I have now come to this age,
12:20I feel,
12:21I can't remember
12:22what I had two hours ago.
12:23You will ask me
12:24about my childhood,
12:25how many Eidis did I collect?
12:26You know,
12:27there is a lot of pressure
12:28on us
12:29on the situation
12:30that we are in now.
12:31I mean,
12:32there is a lot of pressure
12:33I am telling you, the kids open the rate of Eidi, all the kids get together and they have to fix that this amount has to be taken from everyone.
12:45And just like we were talking about the beggars, they take Rs.10 or whatever and leave.
12:49Let's suppose if we think that this time we will give Rs.300 to all the kids.
12:53And the kids have decided that they have to take Rs.500.
12:56So they all put it on their face and leave.
12:58That keep it, we don't want our Eidi.
13:00So sometimes the kids say that this uncle is a reporter, so he gives us Rs.500.
13:12You are an anchor on TV, you are giving so little, has this ever happened to you?
13:16No, it has not happened because most of my Eids have not passed in the last 25 years.
13:21And I am also out, the kids are also out.
13:23So the kids don't even know how much Eidi they get and what the market rate is.
13:28It will be in Pounds, it will not even be the rate in Pakistan, it will be very expensive.
13:32Yes, it is very expensive.
13:33But this is that we give Eidi to the families who are close to us.
13:38In fact, this time my mother has done a very good thing for the last two years.
13:42My younger brother is married now, Mashallah.
13:45So now my mother, because I am the eldest, but now my mother has made my two younger brothers, although they are much younger than me,
13:52so my mother has made it compulsory that when both the sisters come home, we will give them Eidi.
13:56Both the brothers are younger.
13:57Very nice.
13:58So it seems very nice that when both our sisters go, both our younger brothers are giving us Eidi.
14:03So last year when I went to Karachi, there was a whole basket made for me, my daughter and my husband.
14:10I was a little sad that they are both younger brothers and they have spent so much, but my mother told them that
14:16Yes, but they are both younger brothers.
14:19So my mother has told them that may Allah give health and well-being to my parents.
14:24But my mother has told these two brothers that I have made a chain and whether we are there or not, this should go on with the sisters.
14:30This has been invented that it is a little strict on the brothers.
14:33He has already spoken, the rest of the brothers will suffer.
14:39Mr. Bhatti, do you ever do any cooking? Have you learned to cook or do it? Or do you get a chance on Eid?
14:47I cook every week.
14:50Do you cook in the kitchen?
14:52Yes, I make very good parathas.
14:54Not in the program, but in the kitchen.
14:58I cook more delicious food in the kitchen.
15:00Not in the program.
15:02What did you do?
15:04What did you cook?
15:06Parathas are very delicious.
15:08Parathas are very delicious.
15:10And what is it called?
15:12Except for rice.
15:14Parathas are made round. This is a big problem, sir.
15:16You have not cooked anyone.
15:20But this is a lot of effort.
15:22Now the paratha makers have come.
15:24Yes, but I feel that you are doing the effort yourself.
15:26No, I am doing it myself.
15:28And then later, the old-fashioned one.
15:32You are great people.
15:34We make parathas with a lot of strength.
15:36How?
15:37Yes, I make that too.
15:39It is called Lachha Dal Paratha.
15:41Mr. Bhatti, I am impressed.
15:43Because that is normally made.
15:45Except for rice.
15:47Because I don't know how much water to put in it.
15:49I cook everything.
15:53While I lived in Bangkok, there were rice cookers.
15:57If you had told me, I would have made it here.
15:59And you would have eaten together.
16:01Do your family members agree with this?
16:03My whole family is famous for my cooking.
16:05What else apart from parathas?
16:07Mixed vegetables, which I like.
16:09I like mixed vegetables.
16:11I like mixed lentils.
16:13And I make chicken soup very well.
16:15Did any of you know?
16:17You are permanently in Islamabad.
16:19I never invited him to eat.
16:21He said mixed vegetables.
16:23As soon as he said that, all the excitement was over.
16:27What is your profession?
16:29I am a very good cook.
16:31I have heard that you cook well.
16:33You shouldn't have asked.
16:35You should have told.
16:37When did I ask?
16:39You should have asked.
16:41I cook everything.
16:43Even if I don't try anything.
16:45I just have to look at the recipe.
16:47And I can cook it.
16:49What is the specialty that you love to cook?
16:51I make very good biryani.
16:53Everything.
16:55I remember the show where you discussed aloo biryani.
16:57I think you were there as well.
16:59Do you have aloo biryani?
17:01We usually eat aloo biryani in Eid shows.
17:03Biryani should be aloo biryani.
17:05Yes.
17:07Which one should it be?
17:09Exactly.
17:11Biryani should be meaty.
17:13And the meat of the chicken.
17:15Kiran, you cook.
17:17Or don't you?
17:19If you say, I will cook.
17:21Kiran doesn't know how to cook anything.
17:23Alhamdulillah.
17:25Kiran doesn't even know how to make an egg.
17:27When I was in Karachi.
17:29My kitchen was right in front of me.
17:31As soon as I left my bedroom.
17:33I used to see the open kitchen.
17:35Sometimes I used to leave my bedroom.
17:37And you used to run away?
17:39Yes.
17:41Alhamdulillah.
17:43My kitchen setup in Islamabad is completely different.
17:45Okay.
17:47I don't even know what is in my kitchen.
17:49Is your kitchen attached to your bedroom?
17:51No.
17:53I don't like it.
17:55But you like to eat, right?
17:57Yes.
17:59My husband also likes to eat.
18:01Will you feed me?
18:03No.
18:05She can't even make an egg.
18:07Maybe I can.
18:09But I have never tried.
18:11Never?
18:13No.
18:15When I got married.
18:17Sami and I used to go to office.
18:19We didn't have a 24x7.
18:21We used to work at home.
18:23We used to close the shop.
18:25Now we both used to be there.
18:27In the beginning, I wanted to be a wife.
18:29I wanted to do something for my husband.
18:31So I tried to make something for him.
18:33Then he said no.
18:35When I used to come back from office.
18:37Sami used to come and make something for me.
18:39No.
18:41Listen to me.
18:43After that.
18:45For a long time.
18:47I used to think that he is such a nice husband.
18:49When I got married after 9 years.
18:51I got a lot of courage.
18:53In Islamabad.
18:55My cook was on leave.
18:57That day I got happy.
18:59I am from Hyderabad.
19:01I wanted to make Hyderabadi Dal.
19:03I went to the kitchen.
19:05And I cooked.
19:07After cooking.
19:09Sami asked me to order from outside.
19:11He will eat it in the evening.
19:13I said okay.
19:15But it was fresh food.
19:17It was dinner.
19:19I asked him.
19:21Where is the Dal that I made?
19:23He said.
19:25It was for the staff.
19:27He will eat it.
19:29The next day I got to know.
19:31It was so delicious.
19:33Even the staff didn't eat it.
19:35That was the last day.
19:37After 9 years.
19:39My husband got so much courage.
19:41He told me.
19:43It was a very bad Dal.
19:45Do you have any experience in cooking?
19:47You have lived there.
19:49What Mr. Bhatti said.
19:51If I am at home.
19:5390% of the cooking.
19:55I do it at home.
19:57When I was there.
19:59I think Mr. Bhatti will agree.
20:01Cooking food.
20:03And feeding it to your loved one.
20:05I think it is the ultimate gesture of love.
20:07It is such a pleasure.
20:09My children request me.
20:11Every Sunday.
20:13That you have to make this today.
20:15I am fond of cooking.
20:17That is why I say.
20:19Even if women are doing it.
20:21And you think.
20:23People complain about the smell of ginger and garlic.
20:25Think about the effort behind it.
20:27They serve food to you.
20:29So that you can eat it and enjoy it.
20:31And there is a smile on your face.
20:33They feel that everything is achieved.
20:35If someone does not cook.
20:37It is not a crime.
20:39It is not an issue.
20:41It is your choice.
20:43Even you do not have a problem.
20:45If his wife does not cook.
20:47But I cook.
20:49My husband cooks very delicious food.
20:51We will try that.
20:53We will take a break.
20:55We will continue after the break.
20:57Ladies and gentlemen.
20:59Welcome to our special eat show.
21:01Guests are sitting in front of us.
21:03Let's start the conversation.
21:05Mr. Bhatti, tell me.
21:07You have different roles.
21:09You are an anchor.
21:11Now you do podcasting.
21:13What is your personal favorite?
21:15And why?
21:17I think Tazriyakar.
21:19I like it.
21:21Answering questions.
21:23Taking a position.
21:25Expressing.
21:27And writing your own research.
21:29I read my program report card.
21:31At that time.
21:33Hassan Nisar.
21:35Iftikhar Ahmed.
21:37Imtiaz Alam.
21:39Babar Sattar.
21:41Sohail Vadai.
21:43Salim Safi.
21:45Hamid Mir.
21:47I was the least educated.
21:49The least intelligent.
21:51I used to write points.
21:53I used to get the least time.
21:55I used to write points.
21:57I got used to it.
21:59But I like it.
22:01Tazriyakar.
22:03Anchoring.
22:05I like to ask questions.
22:07I have an inquisitive nature.
22:09I think you should know
22:11how to ask questions.
22:13It's an art.
22:15You can say many things
22:17that you can't say.
22:19You can make someone say it.
22:21With a few words.
22:23With words.
22:25Gestures.
22:27Face expressions.
22:29Many things are like this.
22:31I disagree that
22:33you can't talk much.
22:35You can talk openly.
22:37If you like to talk.
22:39You should know
22:41how to talk.
22:43You should know
22:45how to talk.
22:47You should know
22:49how to talk.
22:51You shouldn't talk harshly.
22:53But if you talk harshly.
22:55It's how you say it.
22:57It's all about how you say it.
22:59I enjoy anchoring.
23:01What do you do?
23:03You started with Tazriyakar.
23:05Then you came to anchoring.
23:07What do you do?
23:09I do both.
23:11I do both.
23:13I could have
23:15made you a minister.
23:17You couldn't.
23:19We tried.
23:21You are going to be a real minister.
23:23The problem is
23:25as Mr. Bhatti said
23:27you can talk more.
23:29As an anchor
23:31sometimes
23:33guests talk
23:35that you can
23:37counter question.
23:39But it doesn't look good.
23:41You have to keep it close.
23:43In Tazriyakar
23:45you have to talk
23:47and not criticize.
23:49It's your responsibility.
23:51You don't say anything to the anchor
23:53but you can talk openly
23:55about the overall situation.
23:57But people
23:59get upset.
24:01Intolerance
24:03has increased.
24:05We can't tolerate
24:07each other's point of view.
24:09It's personal.
24:11For example
24:13a person A
24:15has his own point of view
24:17but he disagrees with you.
24:19You should
24:21discourage him.
24:25Tell me one thing.
24:27There are two people
24:29who don't have
24:31any connection with news anchoring.
24:33Mr. Bhatti and Mr. Kazmi.
24:35We have a background in news anchoring.
24:37What is the difference
24:39between a news anchor
24:41and a program host
24:43and what is the difference?
24:47I cannot speak
24:49on their behalf.
24:51It's my experience.
24:53Step by step
24:55they go through
24:57the grind.
25:018-8 hours.
25:0316-16 hours.
25:05I remember
25:07the live transmissions
25:09of Mr. Chaudhary.
25:15I don't know
25:17what their problems are.
25:21But I think
25:23they have learned
25:25how to handle live.
25:27I think you also know
25:29that breaking news
25:31improves your expressions.
25:43I have done a lot
25:45in print media.
25:47Proof reading, subbing,
25:49editorial page,
25:51column,
25:53interviews.
25:55But I like it.
25:57When I see a news anchor,
25:59I wish I was there.
26:01I wish I knew
26:03how people do it.
26:05When I started,
26:07we had recorded news.
26:09In the beginning,
26:11we were told that
26:13performance also matters.
26:15With the passage of time,
26:17we were taught
26:19how to perform.
26:23Your tone should be like this.
26:25Your mouth and mouth should be
26:27clear in scene and scene.
26:29There should be no love.
26:31There should be love.
26:33There should be style.
26:35Today I am told for the first time
26:37that there is no love.
26:39Love.
26:41You have taken everything from love.
26:43Don't force love.
26:45Don't force it.
26:47In the old days,
26:49people like Tarak Aziz
26:51and other big names
26:53came from radio.
26:55Your accent is good.
26:57Your words are good.
26:59Your performance is also good.
27:01You asked a question to Garida.
27:03I have seen that
27:05new anchors are coming.
27:07God bless them.
27:09They are getting programs.
27:11I have seen some people
27:13who didn't do news anchoring.
27:15I am doing a direct program.
27:17I feel that
27:19if a person comes
27:21from news anchoring,
27:23then his depth
27:25is very different.
27:27I agree with you.
27:29Any field in which you are working hard
27:31and spending time,
27:33it makes you better.
27:35You learn from any experience of life.
27:37In the same way,
27:39our training was more in BBC Urdu.
27:41We were wrong.
27:43We were corrected.
27:45We were not wrong.
27:47There were many things like this.
27:49I am a big fan of this.
27:51At the same time,
27:53journalism is not about words.
27:55Sometimes we get lost in these things.
27:57It is indeed.
27:59There is a difference between a clerk
28:01and a journalist.
28:03It is not about what he is saying.
28:05You can watch the story you want to cover.
28:07There was a time when
28:09the best journalists in the world
28:11used to cover it.
28:13What is the scene of shopping
28:15during Eid?
28:17Do you do it yourself?
28:19Who does it?
28:21I had three phases.
28:23First,
28:25my wife used to do it.
28:27Then, I used to do it for my children.
28:29It was very tough
28:31for my children.
28:33I didn't know what to buy
28:35and what not to buy.
28:37She used to run everything.
28:41Now,
28:43my daughter has grown up.
28:45She is 16 years old now.
28:47She leads now.
28:49She tells me what to buy
28:51and what not to buy.
28:53Maybe she knows Farsi.
28:55Maybe she knows Farsi Shalwari.
28:57You have to find it.
28:59If you go home today,
29:01your daughter will greet you in the same way.
29:03Maybe I will go to Rome today.
29:05I know what to buy.
29:07Where is my Farsi Shalwari?
29:09Now,
29:11she has a son.
29:13He dominates her.
29:15I am with her.
29:17I tell her what to buy.
29:19You don't know.
29:21You have to manage
29:23everything yourself.
29:25Shopping is personalized.
29:27Do you spend time on it?
29:29I spend a lot of time on it.
29:31When you know
29:33what to buy,
29:35then I go towards
29:37a focused purchase.
29:39When you are open-minded,
29:41you buy whatever you like.
29:43Then it takes time.
29:45Shopping is personalized.
29:47No one else can purchase for you.
29:49It depends on your size,
29:51dress size and shoe size.
29:53If your shoe size is different,
29:55it is very uncomfortable.
29:57I have seen
29:59that her husband
30:01or his wife
30:03all the wives
30:05shop for their husbands.
30:07All the husbands
30:09shop for their wives.
30:11If they stay together for a long time,
30:13their faces change.
30:15They look like siblings after 10 years.
30:17I have been married for 10 years.
30:19Who does your shopping?
30:21I am with him.
30:23But for Eid,
30:25it is decided that
30:27he buys his wife
30:29whatever she wants.
30:31I don't do that.
30:33He always buys good things.
30:35But since we came here,
30:37it is decided that
30:39he will buy from Islamabad
30:41and Karachi.
30:43What is the fault of other two places?
30:45I don't go there for Eid.
30:47I think it is a people's party.
30:49From Islamabad and Karachi.
30:51It is a show of sense.
30:53Mr. Kazmi,
30:55do you shop for yourself?
30:57I don't like clothes.
30:59What do you like?
31:01I don't remember
31:03buying new clothes for Eid.
31:05The clothes I am wearing now,
31:07may be seen in
31:09old Eid shows.
31:11It is a big problem of men.
31:13It is not like that.
31:15My wife sometimes
31:17buys something.
31:19Shalwar Kameez or something like that.
31:21Anyway,
31:23in our society,
31:25politicians should not
31:27talk about Eid.
31:29But when I see rulers
31:31wearing designer clothes,
31:33I feel irritated.
31:35In a society,
31:37people are dying of hunger.
31:39In that society,
31:41rulers should be careful.
31:43We will talk further.
31:45Let's take a break.
31:51After the break,
31:53we have with us
31:55Mr. Gareeda Farooqui,
31:57Mr. Kiran Naaz,
31:59and Mr. Atar Kazmi.
32:01Kiran,
32:03do you get a chance
32:05to watch films and dramas?
32:07I get a lot of time
32:09in Islamabad.
32:11Do you have less people in Islamabad?
32:13I am saying this for myself.
32:15I will tell you.
32:17The reason is that
32:19I am family oriented.
32:21I don't go out much.
32:23We have been colleagues
32:25for a long time.
32:27The clip you were showing
32:29is from our company.
32:31I am pointing at Gareeda.
32:33We have been colleagues for a long time.
32:35We have worked together for years.
32:37We were lost in the fair.
32:39You were lost in the fair.
32:41No mother has come yet
32:43who has sung a song.
32:45We have to meet her.
32:47I hope she will come.
32:49We will go together.
32:55She is making fun
32:57of our mother.
32:59We have decided
33:01that we will sit
33:03and watch Pakistani dramas
33:05and very good ones.
33:07I watch ARY Digital's dramas.
33:09I watch Hum TV's dramas.
33:11We will come every day.
33:13Keep this.
33:15This won't be edited.
33:17There was a drama of Fahad.
33:19I don't know.
33:21We have decided
33:23that we will come every day
33:25when we are eating.
33:27We will sit and watch a Pakistani drama.
33:29I have a big hit.
33:31It is in theatre.
33:33It is the last finale.
33:35There was a repeat telecast.
33:37That was a blockbuster.
33:39Have you seen any series
33:41or movies?
33:43What is the last one?
33:45Khaki.
33:47Ozark.
33:49Ozark.
33:51It was a great season.
33:53Ozark didn't have a season.
33:55It came in 2023.
33:57We were not allowed
33:59to go outside
34:01because of Corona.
34:03We used to watch Netflix.
34:05Yesterday, I was talking
34:07to my husband
34:09and he didn't know
34:11what he was watching.
34:15My wife doesn't watch
34:17Pakistani dramas.
34:19She watches it
34:21and I watch it with her.
34:23In the season,
34:25you have to watch it.
34:27Yes.
34:29You have to watch it one by one.
34:31On Netflix, you can
34:33binge watch it.
34:35You can watch it till morning.
34:37Gareeda, what is your favorite?
34:39Honestly, we are not
34:41sitting on ARY.
34:43In Pakistan,
34:45everyone is talking
34:47about ARY.
34:49We don't get time
34:51to watch dramas.
34:53I don't remember
34:55how many episodes are there.
34:57People are crazy
34:59for ARY dramas.
35:01I don't get time.
35:03I see clips on social media.
35:05I have recently watched
35:07a Bollywood movie called
35:09Azaad.
35:11It is a very good movie.
35:13It is in Tamil.
35:15No, it is in Urdu and Hindi.
35:17It is an Urdu language.
35:19You can edit it.
35:21Let it run.
35:23I don't want to edit it.
35:25Let it run.
35:27I would love to talk about
35:29Azaad because it is about a horse
35:31and a stallion.
35:33It is an amazing movie.
35:35It is a heart-touching movie.
35:37A man and his horse.
