My o my, these TV chat shows never and will never (let’s establish that) cease to amaze us, so much so that they might prove the most brain-freezing experience in life.

Nadia Khan has, once again, come back with a programme and recently she had actress Humaima Malik on her show. Forget Humaima M who is increasingly becoming too wise for us to comment on her. The most surprising part of the show was when a man dressed as Batman made an appearance and offered gajar ka halwa to Humiama M. What? Batman flexed his muscles at Nadia K’s request and returned without uttering a word. What? How ingenious and inventive can you get? Nadia is back with a bang, oh no, with Batman.
