Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik and his Indian tennis player wife, Sania Mirza announced their own entertainment talk show during a press conference at the Dubai World Trade Center on Sunday.
The Mirza Malik Show will premiere on Pakistani’s streaming platform UrduFlix.
The entertainment talk show will be shot in Dubai, where the couple has been living since they married in 2010.
Speaking to the Gulf News, Mirza said, “Dubai is a great mid-ground as we are trying to get guests from both the countries. We are from different countries and that puts us in a unique position of representing our own countries and what we do. It’s a great way to bring people together across the borders. It will appeal to everybody.”
The aim is to spread love and laughter, they said during the press conference.
Malik said his wife has been coaching him on acting and hosting as she has had appeared in numerous talk shows, including the most-talked-about and notorious show Koffee With Karan.
“I have been taking classes from her as she’s good! It’s going to be great fun for me. I’ve done some shows, but it was only on a social media platform and all those shows were with my friends. I had so much fun while doing interviews, and a lot of people enjoyed it also. I always wanted to do a show from the studio and that’s what is going to happen,” said Malik.
The duo is super excited for the launch of their show, and so is Twitter.
“I must say it’s going to be a fun show,” said Twitter user Aiman Khan.
The couple can count on great ratings for the show.
