And now ZQ
Show business, for sure, is taking a back seat on the idiot box. Joining a big number of actors who’ve opted to either host or judge TV shows, is model-cum-actress Zainab Quyyum, also known as ZQ! Though she had done a programme before in a relatively similar capacity, it was pretty much showbiz stuff because the nature of it was the tried and tested saas aur bahu ke jhagrey. This time around ZQ is interviewing intellectuals and perhaps politicians too. You gotta see that: the dusky cat-walker engaged in an intellectual repartee, an experience unto itself.
In a tête-à -tête with the bureaucrat Orya Maqbool Jaan, ZQ had to weigh her words before she uttered them, not to mention her havannaq expressions. And the weight of her words turned out to be pretty light. The unbearable lightness of being!
