    Hania Aamir: first a vlogger now a TikToker?

    Hania Aamir, in a video posted to her YouTube channel, has announced that she will now be making TikTok videos as she is obsessed with them.

    The first video that she tried making involved her entering the car from one door and exiting from the other. When she exits the second door, her clothes change.

    The second and third videos involved her indulging in tricks in which she instantly changed her clothes and shoes.

    While Hania’s initial TikTok videos were viral challenges, she wanted to make some original content so she decided to make a video in which she plays the double-role of a mother and daughter. As the daughter enters the house, apparently from a late-night party, the mother waits for her with a slipper in her hand. The daughter runs to her room to dodge the slipper but the slipper follows her to the room and starts banging on the door.

    Once the banging stops, the daughter thinks she is safe but immediately the slipper hits her head and her outfit changes and she turns into a girl who does house chores.

    Ending the video, Hania asked her followers to rate her TikTok videos by commenting ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’.

    Speaking exclusively to The Current, Ahsan shared that his new show is a “weekend celebrity show full of entertainment”.

    “The kind of stuff we are doing, the way we have designed the show is very very different from the run of the mill stuff you see on television,” said Ahsan. “It’s nothing like what has been done before in Pakistan. It has a new feel, new set and a few fun games.”

    “I think it will be very entertaining and enjoyable,” he added.

    When asked how he has not yet gotten bored with hosting, considering he also hosted the hugely popular Bol Nights with Ahsan Khan recently, the actor said: “Bol Nights was 40 minutes long but did not cover the entire lives of my colleagues and celebrities. A lot of them are very interesting and I would like to have them on my show again.”

    Giving a sneak peek into the show’s format, Ahsan went onto say that his upcoming show is different from his previous experiences.

    “We have introduced a few new games on the show, so we will be playing a lot. This new show also has a very different kind of feel to it which you’ll see when you watch the episodes.”

    “At the same time we are considering new people,” shared Ahsan. “We have so many celebrities. I mean if I interviewed around 125 people [for Bol Nights], we still have another 500 to go.”

    “I think there is still so much left to explore,” stated Ahsan. “So many of my colleagues have new things and projects happening in their lives which I would love to talk to them about.”

    Khan went onto say that he also plans to invite people from different walks of life on his show including sportspersons and other high achievers.

    Time Out with Ahsan Khan is expected to start in January. According to Ahsan, it is a “new year gift” from him to everyone.
