The expressive Tauseeq Haider

Published May 16, 2010

There's this chap who hosts a morning show on PTV by the name of Tauseeq Haider. He is not a new entrant to the realm of showbiz; he's been around for a couple of decades now. If you are a PTV watcher, you can't miss him.

The thing about Tauseeq is his extreme expressiveness. When he is interviewing girls, which includes actresses most of the time, his facial expressions while reacting to their answers would beat even Malika-i-Jazbat, Bahar, flat.

Recently, while talking to a celeb (I think it was Iffat Omar) Tauseeq's inserts were a strange sight to behold. If she gave a weird answer, he became weirder; if she gave a funny answer, Tauseeq became funnier and so on and so forth. Now that's what I call the method school of anchoring.
