VJ-turned Television host Waqar Zaka has always enjoyed limelight by doing public stunts every now and then. Recently, in the month of Ramadan Waqar announced on his Facebook post that he regrets being rude to the contestants in the controversial show “Living On The Edge” and also that he hopes that Allah Almighty will forgive him for his mistakes.
On his Facebook account, the reality TV show host wrote, “Allah, please forgive me for posting content which was destroying young minds.”
“I feel really bad for being harsh in Living on the Edge. I hope all the contestants who faced my anger will also forgive me,” he added. “Allah, please help me in creating content which will practically help people in need.”
He finally concluded his plea with, “Allah please guide me, so I can push our Government to update science subjects in our schools and make Pakistan the next space power.”
Speaking to Express Tribune, Waqar said:
“I can do ten more seasons of Living on the Edge but I know it will misguide the youth under the garb of entertainment. You have to start looking at the bigger picture at some point in time and I would really ask all other artists who have been involved in such programming to reconsider what they are doing,”
“I have spoiled an entire generation of youngsters by steering them away from the path of righteousness. And now I plan to fix this with my content which will hopefully revolve around the concept of a V-log with a message.”
The show host also said that by using his ‘ non-monetized ‘ YouTube channel for social benefit, he has already started to highlight various issues.
