ISLAMABAD: After being away from the television screen for a long time, popular presenter, actor and producer Nadia Khan is about to make a comeback.

She will be appearing on Geo Television to host the Nadia Khan Show, a morning program due to go on air from November 9.

At one time Nadia used to host Breakfast with Nadia on ARY Digital before moving to Geo in 2006 for the Nadia Khan Show (Geo Mazay say). The show was banned in 2010 by the UAE government following a court order.

Nadia showed Pakistani filmstar Noor Bukhari and her husband fight before Noor's interview. Her husband claimed in court that it was their family matter. Therefore, the court gave out an order to ban her show in Dubai for six months.

Nadia is credited for setting the trend for morning shows in the television industry.
