Waseem Badami promises a very 'decent' Ramazan transmission

Waseem Badami promises a very 'decent' Ramazan transmission

Badami says hosting Shan-e-Pakistan is a spiritual journey he takes every Ramazan and tries to make it infotainment.

Ramazan's here which means Waseem Badami is back with Shan-e-Pakistan!

Talking about the annual Ramazan transmission he hosts, he shared "It's a marathon transmission that will run every day, where we'll start the Sehri session as early as 1:30 in the morning and it will be continue until after Fajr and for Iftar, we'll be on air from 2:30 pm onwards."

Elaborating on the show's legacy, he said, "Shan-e-Ramazan is nearly a decade old now, I myself have been hosting it for seven years, Junaid [Jamshed] bhai and Amjad [Sabri] bhai were also there so people know the show. We try to keep the show decent, we want to give people spiritual and religious knowledge and also a good time, what you call infotainment basically."

"There's lots of different elements to it, we have tilawat and naats followed by a cooking segment for women. Then there's some discussions with ulemas and a naiki segment, where we help people. We also try to make it really interactive for the kids."

We had to ask how hectic it gets shooting back to back for a whole month.

Badami shares he's got little to complain about: "It's been an unforgettable experience. Every year, right before Ramazan starts, my family just rukhsats me and I pack my bags and just go live on set. It's a spiritual journey but also a real journey. We're always on the go. There's always people around, I get to learn a lot. It's also tiring and sometimes I'm sleep deprived so I'm nervous I might end up saying something incorrect but overall, it's a very exciting and fulfilling experience. These 30 days are so memorable, your think about them for the rest of the year."

There’s no harm in allowing the serious informative decent programs, provided they are helpful to promote harmony and encourage philanthropy. And no need for loud drum or jazzy music please.

There are enough videos available on YouTube to show the real character of individuals like Wasim Badami. These individuals conducting programs in Ramzan is simply condemnable.

They cant do anything decent. They dont know decent. They will call a few poor and sick on the show, Waseem Badami will collect donations under their name. Then those needy will never hear from these TV personalities again. Its happened before. It will happen again.
