Rabia Anum is one of the most successful female anchors of Pakistan. She has read news and hosted live transmissions and shows. She is also a very vocal celebrity and never shies away from saying what is on her mind. She was a guest on Geo Podcast and spoke about her career, family and stands that she takes.
Rabia Anum addressed the controversy when she walked out of Nida Yasir’s live show some 2 years back. Nida was furious about her behaviour while the other guest Mohsin Abbas Haider has addressed it on his own several times. Rabia has now shared what was going through her head when she made that decision. Nida has also shared her disappointment several times on the said incident.
Rabia revealed in a recent interview the actual story behind the viral incident that was the talk of the town. Rabia said that when Nida’s manager called she did not tell her that Mohsin Abbas was part of the show. Rabia found out about Mohsin’s involvement in the show when she was already going on-air. She would have preferred to walk out off-air but it was not possible. She did not even think about her relationship with Nida or the backlash, she just stood by her stand against oppression of women. Her manager also did not want her to sit on a panel with Mohsin.
This is what went down:
Rabia Anum has now shared that she is now on good terms with Nida Yasir as they both made up. She added that she actually never wanted to do that on-air. Mohsin Abbas Haider was a substitute guest that day who came in place of Javeria Saud. Rabia and her manager were not comfortable sharing the set with Mohsin, and she did not think about the backlash that will come. She simply walked out as she has a strong voice, which she uses for the victims of abuse.
This is what she shared about the incident:
