show Picnic designed for kids which was
aired every Saturday on the same channel. After
having conducted these programs for many years,
she is now seen hosting Food Afternoon with
Farah aired on Geo TV. According to Farah,
cooking come naturally to her," I have always
been into cooking because my influences are
varied. When it comes to food, my dadi belongs
to Egyt,my mother is a Punjabi my father is from
Sialkot and my husband is Pathan from Afghan
lineage. So in short, I have experienced a
varied array of cuisines. Cooking for the show
was certainly an easy task since I had the
confidence so much so,that my 18-minutes segment
becomes so popular that it was stretched for a
longer time period".
For Farah Jehanzeb,the world
of glitz and glamour is not new since she is
also a designer and has been providing wardrobes
to different shows on television, commenting on
her new-found recognition as a host she says,"
To a certain extent I do identify with my status
of being someone know. Before ,when I used to go
out especially with my husband Jahanzeb Khan,
who is a former film star and model, people
would obviously recognize him but not me.
I was ,of course known among my clientele. But
now the role had reversed. Being Know is not
such a big deal but the biggest adulation is
when a mother comes up to me and says that
because of me her young daughter has started
taking interest in cooking ".
