"It's high time anchoring is taken up as a profession"

... Pariha

Shah Alam Shazu
Pariha Lima is widely recognised as a TV anchor, emcee and model. The Daily Star recently spoke to Parihaon her zooming career:
When did you enter the media world?
Pariha: As a child, 1 dreamt of working in the field. Then in 2004 I took part in the 2004 Lux Channel i Superstar pageant and was judged the second runner up in Dhaka. However, 1 did not work in the media till later on as 1 had to finish my studies. Finally after some years 1 emerged as a TV anchor.
How did you become an anchor?
Pariha: 1 came across an Rev ad for an anchor. I applied for the job. 1 was picked up after stiff competition as there were 40 competitors who had been selected out of 9,000 applicants. They started training us and finally 1 was selected as emcee for "Tarokaalap". It is now four years since 1 signed on with Rtv.
What are your other interests?
Pariha: Modeling and acting. 1 appeared in a TV drama. Though I'm interested in doing TV plays, 1 just can't manage the time for them as 1 am busy
emceeing the TV programme and stage shows. You also modeled for a TVC of Banglalink? Pariha: Yes, that was a hit and got me noticed. Later, I modeled for TVCs of Vim bar and Orange Candy.
What is your dream on the professional front? Pariha: 1 want to be established as an artiste. Also, 1 want to work the rest of my life and be appreciated by people. 1 think it is high time for anchoring to be taken up as a profession.
What are the pros and cons of presenting live programme?
Pariha: As there is room for improvisation it allows for artistic freedom. However, there is no script. Also there is no possibility of correcting mistakes. On the flipside, 1 get a lot of unsolicited phone calls which can be very annoying.
Every day, you face a new guest on your show. Who stands out in your memory?
Pariha: Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay.
How do prepare to face new guests?
Pariha: Before interviewing the guests, 1 learn about them by browsing the internet. It is very tough to face guests without adequate preparation.
