[edit] Career
Khan made her television debut with NTM in 1996. She then hosted a show called Daak Time (Mail Time) with Uncle Sargam which was popular among children PTV.[2] She made a comeback to acting in the year 2005 with an Eid Special Show in which she acted opposite Aijaz Aslam and Sadia Imam. She also appeared in a ARY Digital soap called Koi To Ho in 2003. She later left the show to work as a host on ARY, then left it to work on Geo TV.
Khan returned as an anchor on ARY Digital's morning show Breakfast with Nadia. The show went on air from Dubai in the year 2006. After leaving ARY Digital for unknown reasons in 2008, she moved to Geo TV Khan then hosted Geo TV's morning show called Nadia Khan Show. A live chat and interview show.[1] Her show ended on GEO TV on September 30, 2010 and was replaced by Shaista Wahidi to host Geo's morning show in November 2010.[3][4] The show was later renamed as Utho Jago Pakistan.Shaista wahidi took the advantage of the opportunity and joined GEO tv to replace NK but could not manage to gather the same amount of trps as Nk therefore she is asked to return back to her home channel. Nadia khan left morning show for her personal reasons rather than issues with the channel or any ban imposed on her show,all news was fake. Morning shows in Pakistan, after the end of NKS, lost their charm and major chunk of intellectual audience. It is to be appreciated that NK kept the audience glued to the tv screen with her charismatic personality and originality. She will be resuming her television career on 23rd March 2012 on Geo Entertainment once again. The concept of the show is still not disclosed. And news of her return on Dunya tv is incorrect.
