Comedian and former TV host Tabish Hashmi has left national television after five years of hosting the fan-favourite show Hasna Mana Hai.
Tabish announced the decision on social media. Posting his picture on the stage of the show, he said, “It was a pleasure being on National TV for almost 5 years. I have said my thank-yous in person to everyone who contributed. To the audience of ‘Hasna Mana Hai‘, I will never forget the love that you have shown. Thank you !!”
He joined the show in 2022 and interviewed hundreds of A-list actors, celebrities, and other prominent personalities. The show remained a fan favourite in Pakistan throughout its run.
The reason behind his sudden departure from the show remains unknown. However, celebrities and his colleagues have wished him well for the future and praised his work as the host.
Tabish is not just a comedian and television personality. The former TV host has been vocal about issues affecting Pakistan and is a proud Karachiite who has often spoken about the city’s long-standing problems.
Following the Gul Plaza tragedy, Tabish criticised the government’s handling of Karachi’s affairs, saying: “The way the government realised that they can’t run PIA and privatised it, please privatise Karachi the same way. We Karachiites, Pathan, Baloch, Sindhi, Muhajirs, all Punjabis that are here, we will buy Karachi together. If this is the criterion and standard of running Karachi, then we will do it. We might even run it better, because even despite trying, we won’t be able to do a worse job than this.”
