EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Interviewer: Mash Allah! Your shows are well watched these days and stand among the best shows in Pakistan.Would you like to share your success with us? Was it difficult so far? How did this all came up? Was this your dream? Share the story behind.
Sahir: It wasn’t a dream before but now it is and I cannot take the credit or the success of the show alone; there is a team who works behind the shows which includes you and the rest of the people and Mr. Rass Qureshi specially, few other people who work day and night for the show. However, I end up stealing the limelight from all of them because I am the face of the show but the show is successful because everyone else who is in the team, they probably work much harder than I do.
Interviewer: TSLS is a huge hit these days. What more viewers can expect from TSLS? What’s going to be next?
Sahir: I don’t known if it’s a huge hit or not but it’s a hit, however we haven’t revealed the one present of it yet but as time passes or proceeds, you will get to see more n more n more from an angle that is not yet visible.
Interviewer: Morning Masala is your newly born baby? Do you want to share your vision behind this odd picture of yours?
Sahir: What do you mean by the odd picture? The way I look in Morning Masala?
Interviewer: Yes your looks and they way you carry yourself is different from you other works.
Sahir: So I think that speaks well about my versatility, that I could do that as well. I had a vision when I started it but now we are trying to figure it out where it’s going to go. And as far as my personality is concern, I think that is my personality as well and I guess you get to see more of Sahir Lodhi in Morning Masala than the Sahir Lodhi you see in TSLS or any other shows or rather 50-50 I guess. That Sahir Lodhi lives in me as well… who is very aware of the world. I do wanna talk politics, I do want to be open about my
statements, I don’t want to give my opinion to people, and I do want to listen to what people have to say. I do want to criticize the system logically and with valid reasoning, I do want to talk about everything that matters, matter to people. That’s that side of me.

Interviewer: You are an ideal of millions.
Sahir: God help them. I am a normal person treat me like one. Find flaws in me you will be always content with your choice. Put me on a pedestal and you will find a lot of flaws in me. We make our ideal and we do idol worshiping but God is the only one who should be worshiped. You can only ask God for help. I wish that people don’t consider me as their ideal or idol worship me. Yes! I want them to like me please do give me some space in your heart, but think of me as human as you are.
Interviewer: What is the scholarship program you always talk about? How can be benefit from it?
Sahir: It is going to be more organized when the foundation starts running. Obviously, scrutinizes and all the quires are going to be answered when this foundation starts operating in full strength. Schools and Colleges in Pakisatan can admit you with no or fewer fees and it dose not really matter who you are as long as you are eligible for it. You can approach us and get admitted.You can just come to us or go to the website, hopefully you get a hold of us and we would be able to help you.

Sahir: Exactly like that. I had a good life, I made mistakes, I fumbled but I never was dishonest, I admitted my mistakes, I got up and started running again. I never gave up, fought bravely. I stood by my beliefs, always hoped that God will give me strength throughout my life. I made sure that whatever I do in life I do it with share honesty and integrity.
