While talking to MediaSpring Pk, Mahwish said:
“Moving to Karachi is quite a big decision for me. In the past too I did get good offers from top news channels but I had never been able to dare to leave Lahore and move to Karachi. Now when I have finally made the deicison after my return to the media, it still feels surreal. And all I can say right now is, please be nice to me, Karachi.
“So far the experince with Bol News has been amazing, everyone here is quite helpful and respectful. One thing I really like about the team here is that everyone is happy to help and is very cooporative.
“All I can say is that home sickness is real, leaving hometown and moving to a new city is challenging. And it is not easy for everyone. But at the end of the day how we deal with challenges is what defines us as a person. And I am here now to take up new challenges.”
