TV Nawazish Ali on the show “Begum”, starting this Saturday on 9X
|
Popular in Pakistan for her chat show where she does candid interviews of people from different fields, Begum Nawazish Ali, a cross-dresser, crosses borders and will reach our living rooms with her new chat show Begum on 9X, starti
ng this Saturday. The first episode will feature Shekhar Suman and Mandira Bedi.
Having already interviewed John Abraham, Nawazish has a long wish list that includes M.S. Dhoni, Rekha, L.K. Advani and I.K. Gujral. “Dhoni because I like hard hitting ways and Gujral for I really admire his doctrine of peace between the two countries.”
On the longstanding row over Indian artistes getting a rude reception in Pakistan, while Pakistani artistes are welcomed with open arms here, Nawazish says she felt really bad when Javed Akhtar was denied a visa.
Originally named Ali Saleem, Nawazish feels she has an Anarkali or Noorjehan inside her. “I don’t believe in orientations. I am very fluid as far as my gender is concerned. It’s like one day you like oranges, another day you like apples.” But the process is not as simple as eating fruits. Her make-up takes almost three hours every day.
