Pakistani television host Rabia Anum Obaid has revealed that a well known Ramzan transmission host once proposed to her. 

 

During a recent interview, she confirmed a long standing rumour and said that the proposal reached her family but did not progress further.

 

The interviewer brought up the rumour during the conversation.

 

"I heard a rumour about you. You were once proposed to by a very famous person during Ramadan, but you refused."

 

Rabia confirmed the story and explained that the proposal came through a respectful approach to her family.

 

"Yes, your research is true. There were some reasons behind my refusal. That person reached out directly to my family. He approached my family very respectfully and spoke to them with great respect."

 

She said her family had already decided that the proposal will not be accepted. 

 

"However, my family had very clear ideas that it was not going to happen, so they said no, and it didn’t happen."

 

Rabia also said people within the media industry were aware of the situation, although she rarely spoke about it publicly.

 

"I think this is the first time anyone has ever asked me about this. No one had asked before, so I never really got the chance to confirm it. I think most people in the industry know about this, but people outside the industry don’t."

 

When asked whether she remained satisfied with the decision, she responded that she had no regrets.

 

"Yes, I’m happy with my decision."

 

Rabia Anum built a strong reputation in Pakistan’s television industry through her work as a news anchor and host. 

 

Over the years she has hosted several current affairs and special transmission programmes on the channel, including Ramadan broadcasts and discussion shows.
