For mother’s sake

Published September 9, 2012

Though Sania Saeed has become a bit more composed with age, she hasn’t lost her youthful ebullience when it comes to hosting a show about the role of celebrities’ mothers in their lives. The programme that she conducts is a decent effort given the kind of frivolity that today television has become synonymous with.

The episode on which Zeba Bakhtiar talked about her mother was worth watching and Sania S asked the right questions (most of the time). Pakistani television needs more of such sensitive, unpretentious programmes, not the drivel which is offered in the name of ‘reality shows’.
