Popular host and former actor Fiza Ali has reportedly stepped down from her morning show.
According to media reports, journalist Naeem Hanif stated during a television program that Fiza Ali has officially resigned from her position on 24 News HD, citing personal commitments after marriage. He added that the show, previously known for its morning format, underwent several changes over time before reaching its conclusion.
Hanif further claimed that there had been ongoing coordination issues between the host and the channel in recent months, and suggested that her post-marriage commitments played a key role in her decision to leave television. He also remarked that she is currently focusing on her personal life.
The reports stated that Fiza Ali has now formally submitted her resignation, marking her exit from the morning show circuit.
Earlier, Fiza Ali received a notice from the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority after the authority sought an explanation from a private television channel over an incident that occurred during a live broadcast.
This incident gained attention when Fiza Ali’s spouse lifted her up onto his shoulders during a live morning show, and the act went viral on different social media platforms.
Following this incident, many social media users found the act to be inappropriate and suggested Fiza Ali’s show be taken down by PEMRA.
With the increasing social media activity, PEMRA observed the incident and requested a statement from the relevant channel.
The authority emphasised that all broadcasters should abide by the stated professional and ethical standards regarding the content they air.
In contrast, Fiza Ali claimed that the brief moment on social media went viral without context and people shared it in a negative way deliberately.

It was further stated by her that sometimes even after giving clarification situations are widely misinterpreted.
