Imran Khan’s First-Ever Podcast
Let’s talk about Muzammil’s, Talha’s, and Junaid’s combined podcast with IK. The overarching verdict was that the podcast with IK was a rendition of Shaan Shahid’s effort from the day before. Remember the ARY lighting vs Shaan’s lighting at HUM TV? This podcast was for the audience who preferred this medium over a news channel that specialized in creating dramas and may have been upset with the establishment for not giving them the opportunity to create Sinf e Aahan.
It is believed that any expectations HUM TV has with ISPR after the disaster that was Ehd-e-Wafa are simply wishful thinking. In this podcast, Syed Muzamil Hasan Zaidi and Junaid Akram’s job was to placate Imran Khan’s inflated ego. It is likely that the “selected-who-has-been-rejected” would have felt satisfied with themselves after the disgraceful fall from power in April, thanks to the efforts of these two media personalities who seem to champion hard-hitting questions, creativity, action, satire, and sarcasm, but were seen kneeling before the bravado of Kaptaan.
Many believe, that during the interview, both Syed Muzamil Hasan Zaidi and Junaid Akram failed to ask any tough questions, present any rebuttals or counter questions, and constantly framed the context in favor of Khan before asking a question in order to avoid damaging the expensive trousers that they had saved for the occasion. Junaid was already in “fan” mode and Muzammil was hesitant and nervous. Imran Khan cut him off many times and he couldn’t get over that. Talha Ahad from The Centrum Media was the only one who was not dressed to impress and the only one who was not seeking employment in Khan’s setup. He made the most of the opportunity and did not hesitate to make Khan uncomfortable throughout the interview, doing justice to his profession in the process. I would like to express my admiration and respect for Talha Ahad. I am now a fan of his.
