Veteran morning show host of Good Morning Pakistan<\/em> Nida Yasir recently made a guest appearance on Hasna Mana Hai<\/em><\/a>, hosted by Tabish Hashmi. From accusing Waqar Zaka of sabotaging her position as morning show host to frequently becoming the subject of memes, Nida divulged various facets of her 15-year-long hosting career.<\/p>\n

\u201cWaqar Zaka tried very hard to get me replaced. He ran a long campaign to sabotage my position,\u201d the host alleged. She also expressed her confusion about the entrepreneur-host\u2019s animosity towards her.<\/p>\n

Nida recounted, \u201cHe was very cordial towards me when he was working at the same channel but then he left. I had nothing to do with that.\u201d The celebrity shared how Waqar kept sending emails to the channel\u2019s management to get her removed from the show. \u201cI don’t know what I ever did to him,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Nida also discussed her notoriety in meme culture, referring to an instance from Shoaib Akhtar\u2019s show from earlier this year when she failed to answer a trick question about cricket. She said, \u201cI try to avoid \u2018becoming\u2019 a meme but everyone scrutinises me as if there are no other morning shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cI asked Shoaib bhai to not ask me any cricket-related questions because I don\u2019t follow the sport. But the first question he asked me was about cricket.\u201d Nida recalled how she blanked out completely because she wasn\u2019t expecting the question and ended up saying the first thing that came to her mind.<\/p>\n

However, she disclosed that while the trolling dampens her spirits, her family encourages her to laugh it off. \u201cMy family enjoys this and tries to get me to see the humour in it because I often get depressed,\u201d Nida said.<\/p>\n

In response to why she doesn\u2019t act anymore, the morning show host cited a lack of time due to various domestic affairs. She laughindly said, \u201cI have three children of different ages and their father is no less of a child himself. This is why I can’t give any time to acting.\u201d<\/p>\n
