Pakistan’s one-of-a-kind talk-show TUC: The Lighter Side of Life brought to the masses by Continental Biscuits Ltd. (CBL) and aired weekly on Saturday, has successfully captivated an audience of all ages to watch their favorite celebrities on the silver screen. The weekly one-hour series is hosted by Mahira Khan, Pakistani VJ, actress and model. The guests swap stories and engage the viewers through a casual, friendly chitchat to get insights into the lighter side of their life.
Since the show’s inception in December 2013, there has been much hype amongst Pakistani’s regarding Mahira Khan herself and the celebrities she will be interviewing.
